Placement in Focus Competition
Your chance to win some great prizes!
Your placement year will no doubt be one of the most memorable years of your university life, and we'd love for you to share some of those memories with us in the form of photos and videos!
We appreciate that the landscape of placements looks a little different from just a few years ago, with a big increase in remote opportunities, working from home, and increased flexibility on how you can complete your placement.
Therefore, we wanted to make sure the competition categories reflect all of the different circumstances our placement students find themselves in. We hope you enjoy getting involved by sharing your placement experience.
The competition is divided into two categories. You can submit entries for both categories, but please note you will only be shortlisted once.
Send a picture or video of yourself on the job. This could be outside your office, at work, or doing something work-related. Working from home? A growing number of placements offer either hybrid or remote working, meaning you might spend a significant portion of your time on placement working from home. Is your desk full of plants? Do you work alongside your dog who just won't leave you alone during work calls? Send us a photo or video of your home setup!
We want to see your placement adventures: days out in a new city, time spent with new friends, or perhaps a photo or video of you in front of a famous landmark.
All you need to do is upload and submit your entry using the form below. If you want to enter additional entries in the future, just resubmit another form.
The competition closes at the end of August 2024. All entries will then be independently shortlisted for voting. We'll then open a public vote on the shortlisted entries in September/October 2024 where we'll find and award the winners.
The winner of each category will win Apple AirPods.
You must be a current Aston University student on placement during 2023/24 to enter. Please ensure you have permission from every person featured in the photograph or video before submitting it.
