Is there a reason why this is restricted to people under 30? What about someone who's had a career break or perhaps someone who wants to change career direction? People do change career later in life and there are some who take a science/tech degree in their 30's or 40's or even later. They may value an opportunity like this. Aren't you really looking for people who aren't currently professional science writers?

The idea is just to let them know the competition will run from now until the beginning of November, so they can keep an eye out for interesting things to write/blog about and maybe do some research over the next few months. Unless there's a serious problem with them (!) all the entries will be published on our news site shortly after submission. You can have a look at the full competition rules at: http://the-briefing.com/competitions/the-briefing-tech-writing-challenge and you're welcome to contact me if you have any questions. In any case I'll be back in touch in September with full details of the judges and so forth. By the way, if you use social media such as we'd be really grateful if you could spread the word by posting about the competition there. Very best, and many thanks, Sunny ********************************************************************** Commands - send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask] with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) * set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) * set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) * signoff psci-com (to leave the list) * Subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com Contact list owner at [log in to unmask] Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print ********************************************************************** ----- No virus found in this message.
