The 2014 Gus Astley Student Award is still open for entries, with a closing date of July 31, and with a new award prize of £500 for the selected candidate.
The Annual IHBC Gus Astley Student Award is presented in memory of Gus Astley, former Membership Secretary of the IHBC, and supported jointly by the IHBC and the Gus Astley Memorial Fund.
The award is presented for an outstanding item of taught-coursework accepted as part of either under-graduate or post-graduate courses. The subject should relate to one or more aspects of built or historic environment conservation, including its evaluation (e.g. history, research or surveying), management (e.g. policy and finance) or intervention (e.g. design and technology).
Winners are announced in Context, the journal of the IHBC, and at the IHBC’s Annual School, and alongside cash awards receive free places at the IHBC’s Annual School, when their prizes are presented at the Annual Dinner.
