To enter, email tim.utton@nottingham.ac.uk with your ideas for potential entries (up to 200 words) by Tuesday 26 January.

Guidance for entries can be found on the Times Higher Education website.

The final deadline for entries is Wednesday 17 February, and the awards ceremony will take place in London on Thursday 23 June.
