  • The language should be English.
  • Declaration of entry should be made to elearningcomp@bcs.org, with a copy to margaret.ross@bcs.org.uk and Femi.isiaq@solent.ac.uk, with 'e-Learning poster competition' as the subject line, stating Student or Open class.
  • BCS e-learning will assess all submitted entries and select up to 20 per class for further consideration.
  • All entries must be free from any copyright, potential legal limitations or other issues that might cause offence.
  • The judges’ decision is final.

Open entries

  • Entries should be sent via the individual (who should be a BCS member, stating their BCS number) or one member for group entries. Only one member per group needs to be a BCS member. The subject heading for all communication should be 'e-Learning Open Competition'.

Student entries

  • Entries should be sent via a nominated single point of contact (normally a teacher or lecturer at the educational establishment) for each competition. The point of contact need not be a BCS member. The subject heading for all communication should be 'e-Learning Student Competition'.
  • The point of contact should submit a zip file or files with the identification of the author(s) for each, together with the contact details of the nominated point of contact, e.g. full name, name and address of the educational establishment, country and email address by Wednesday 30 June 2021.
  • For students having home-study, rather than conventional school attendance, a single person acting as point of contact for that region can submit the entries, but prior contact must be made in advance, with details of the group to be represented.
  • Each academic establishment or regional home study group may submit up to 30 entries for each competition; it is left to the points of contact to sift down to this limit, if more than 30 entries are submitted to them.
