Subject: Daily Telegraph Science Writing Competition

Dear All,
Here is an opportunity for older pupils and staff.
All replies to Emma, not the list please.
Best wishes,
Chris


Do you know someone who loves science? Would they be able to express their
thoughts on the subject in an imaginative and creative way? If so, tell
them to enter The Daily Telegraph BASF Science Writer Awards, and give them
the chance to help bridge the gap between the public's perception of
scientists and the world of science itself. You could win a trip to the USA
and share in cash and prizes worth over £7,000!

The Awards are now in their 16th year, and are open to two age categories,
16-19 and 20-28 year olds. To enter the competition the entrant must write
an article on any scientific or science-related subject, no longer than 700
words, that will have a chance of being published in The Daily Telegraph
weekly Science page and online in the Award Winner's section of our
website, at www.science-writer.co.uk. The closing date for the competition
is 25 April, 2003.

This year, the first prize-winners have a share of cash and prizes worth
over £7,000! Including an all expenses paid, weeklong trip to Seattle, USA
to attend the American Association for the Advancement of Science's 2004
meeting. The winners will also be able to meet Britain's most
distinguished scientists at the British Association's Festival of Science
at the University of Salford. There is also a £500 prize for the school
that submits the most entries that reach the finalist stage, and NEW to
this year, a £200 book voucher will be awarded for the teacher who submits
the most pupils that reach the short-list after the initial stage of the
competition.

Further information can be found on the competition website,
www.science-writer.co.uk, or by calling the hotline on 020 7704 5315 or by
