Biomedical students invited to craft a Biomedical Christmas decoration and win a prize

Knit, origami, crochet, recycle - we want critters and creatures, microscopes and microbes.

Make a biomedical bauble and the Biomedical Teaching Organisation will deck the halls, with the most ingenious creation given pride of place. Plus you'll win a Christmas grocery shopping prize.

How to enter

Hand in your decoration to the Biomedical Teaching Organisation reception and we'll start putting them up in December. And of course our Online Distance Learning students can submit via any of our social media channels using the hashtags below. The winner will be announced just before the Christmas break. Get crafting!

This competition is open to all students in the Deanery of Biomedical Sciences.

Win it on social media

Not all our students can be here in person to hand in their Christmas creation, so we invite everyone including our Online Distance Learning students to submit by sharing images of your decoration with us.

Get competitive on Facebook

We'll regularly post updates on the @Biomedscied Facebook account. Post your own pictures of your Biomedical decoration, and comment on or like the one you think deserves to win.

Post your critter to Instagram

Show your decoration to the world on Instagram and we'll repost it on the College Instagram account. We're determined to beat the Vets, who so far are way cuter than we are. That's all about to change.

Follow us on Twitter

Our favourite tweet will heavily influence who we think deserves to win. Wit will win over technical knitting excellence pretty much every time with us, so don't be afraid to keep the competition exciting.
