And Your Prompt is...
"The benefits of biomedical progress are obvious, clear, and powerful. The hazards are much less well appreciated." - Leon Kass
What to Do
The competition is simple – create and submit a piece of work, inspired by the quote. Your entry can be in any format you like: an essay, a poem, a piece of art—anything at all that you can create to demonstrate what you understood from the quote.
What are the Prizes?
The overall winner will be given a free OUSBMS hoodie or sweatshirt (their choice) and be published on The Oxford Scientist.
Honourable mentions in each category may also be announced and have their work published (with permission) on our OUSBMS website and social media.
What are the Rules?
Entry is open to any undergraduate or postgraduate student at the University of Oxford – regardless of whether or not you take Biomedical Sciences!
The deadline for submission is Tuesday, 20th October 2020 at 11:59 pm. (This gives the committee time to look over all the entries and decide on the winning entry.)
If you are doing a written piece, there is no minimum word limit, but please stay under ~1750 words.
Please only submit one entry per person — please make sure it is entirely your own work!
