25th Anniversary
Erasmus Competition 2009
Erazzle-Dazzle!

The British Council has announced the winners of the Erasmus Student Competition 'Erazzle-dazzle!' for 2009.

Nuala McKay from Queen's University, Belfast has been named as the British Council’s Erasmus Student Essay Winner 2009. Georgina Dietrich from the University of Bradford scooped the award for the Erasmus Student Photography Category with her creative portrayal of the benefits of studying and living abroad in Europe. Sophie Moloney from Warwick University and Joseph Twist from Manchester University were awarded as Highly Commended for their essay and photographic entries respectively.

Universities from across the UK were asked to submit their institution’s winning essay and photography portfolio that highlighted the three most important benefits of undertaking a period abroad with the Erasmus programme. Each institution’s top student entry receives the inspiring and informative Lonely Planet guide ‘Europe on a Shoestring’ and one lucky student was also selected in a draw to win a Eurostar break for two. Matthew Gee, from the Norwich University College of Arts, won the draw.

Congratulations to all the students who took part.
