Guiding ideas for the APHeN writing competition:
- Submissions should first be submitted in a word document and not a PowerPoint. The shortlisted candidates would then prepare PowerPoint slides for physical presentations at the venue on the day of the event;
- All ideas and content should be backed-up with reliable data;
- Writing should be captivating to readers and the audience. It should be thoughtful and clearly structured;
- Content should be data-centred;
- Content should also be simple and interactive, displaying creativity in presentation, storytelling, and solutions;
- Credit should be given when due, by citing or referencing your sources.
- All submissions must be previously unpublished. A work that has previously appeared on a blog or website is considered previously published and is thus ineligible for our competition.
