Hey everyone :wavey:

Hope you're all doing okay in Lockdown 2.0! We know lots of people are doing mocks at the moment so good luck for those if you are :hugs:

Just here to announce the winner for the October competition of best title in GYG so far :woo:

@DownRangeLion's -I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot - A Year 12 GYG 2020/2021

You will recieve a £10 voucher :party:

We also really liked some other titles, and these together with the winner have become our November featured blogs on the Study Help Welcome Page :gah:

@Roses & Dreams' Reaping the roses, not rewards: a Year 11 GYG
@Chronoscope's This is real life, deffo not fantasy - caught in a pandemic & starting university
@Becca216's Quacking the case to A*s - Y13 GYG 20/21

We will organise you to have some rep added to your accounts :party2:

The November Competition will run a little differently. We would like you to (before end 30th November) to share your top tips with your readers surrounding mocks or coursework (whichever you prefer) and tag me (@Lemur14) into the post so I know that's your entry! Don't add me pernamently to your tag list if you have one though, that's cheating :tongue:

Your tips can be anything from just a line or two at the end of your usual update to an update containing all your tips and can be about anything to do with this topic from organising yourself to be ready for them, what to do to keep calm while writing them or how to review them afterwards!
Good luck to everyone :goodluck:

Hey!

We do spot prizes every term for Uni blogs of a £10 amazon voucher :biggrin:

You can enter GYG if you are at university however! Uni blogs are more a fun way to keep people updated with uni life, but if you want to do a more curated blog GYG is a good shout :smile:

Monthly prizes

Each month we'll be picking a theme, and awarding prizes based on that. The theme for October is "Best Title" so if any of you haven't started your blogs yet, now's the time to start!
We'll also be having random prizes for blog posts we like and more :yep:

Additionally, remember there's a £10 amazon voucher for the person we feel has been most supportive in GYG blogs by the end of October :yay:

Tagging in everyone who posted in last year's GYG one last time, then we'll be switching to people posting in this year's blogs :smile:
