GASA Award Ceremony<\/p><\/div>\n

The UK\u2019s most inclusive award for taught coursework relating to the past and future of valued places \u2013 The Institute of Historic Building Conservation\u2019s (IHBC) 2015 Annual Gus Astley Student Award \u2013 is still open for submissions, with a closing date of 31 July 2015 and offering the chance of a cash award of \u00a3500 as well as places at the IHBC\u2019s Annual School in 2016!<\/span><\/p>\n

IHBC Chair Mike Brown said: \u2018The award is one of the highlights of the IHBC\u2019s calendar, and we are always delighted to welcome the winner to our Annual School, as well as those commended runners up of course!\u00a0 Indeed the winners from the 2014 award have been especially fortunate as they\u2019ll have the chance to join us next June in Norwich where we\u2019ll explore the \u2018Conservation and the diversity of place\u2019.\u00a0 Their contributions to this challenging topic will be especially welcome\u2019.<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Lecturers, trainers and educators on UK\u2019s taught courses should be sure to circulate this news across their student and training networks, and remember that relevant disciplines range from history, heritage skills and management, to planning, regeneration and design.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Education Secretary David McDonald said: \u2018It\u2019s great that the IHBC can continue to develop this award in a way that reflects the efforts of the applicants as well as their tutors and course leaders.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great honour for all involved, and a real privilege to see all that great work being properly celebrated.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And do note too just how inclusive our Award is: you don\u2019t have to be a member of the IHBC to enter, and all you need do is submit, digitally, relevant coursework that you think does credit to you and your course.\u00a0 It could not be easier to participate.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Education Vice Chair and Gus Astley Fund trustee Bob Kindred MBE said: \u2018With its inter-disciplinary standing and international cachet, alongside the incredibly high standard of so much of the work by the students, it is great to be able to offer real incentives and awards to those hard-working students, learners and career-changers that will be at the heart of our discipline in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n

For a chance to win a \u00a3500 cash prize, applicants should submit digital versions of work assessed on taught courses that end in July 2014 or 2015.\u00a0 Free places at the IHBC\u2019s Annual School, valued at around \u00a3500, are also offered to the winner and any commended entrants so they can receive their prizes in person at the IHBC\u2019s School Dinner in June of each year.<\/p>\n

Eligible course work may cover any aspect of places, buildings, features or areas that relates to the past or future of the built and historic environment.\u00a0 Entries may cover history, heritage site management and planning, new architecture or investigative research. There are no restrictions on discipline, type of taught coursework, group numbers or age. The only requirements for eligibility are that the entry should represent a relevant and quality submission assessed as part of a UK taught course and that it be completed in the academic years ending in July 2014 or 2015.<\/p>\n

The entry (or an appropriate digital record of the entry if it is not in a digitised format) must be submitted using the IHBC\u2019s online procedures from the Award\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Should the entry be selected for an award by the judge, the IHBC will require authentication by the relevant tutor.<\/p>\n
