TSR Hot Topics 2025! :thumbsup:

This summer, :tsr:

is running a competition on the site called #HotTopics. To enter, simply start a discussion in any of the forums listed in the post directly below this one.

Your discussion can be about anything, from discussing music tastes to fashion advice - even ice cream or pants. All we ask is that at the bottom of the original post (OP) can you copy and paste the following bit of code:

[url=https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7601693]#HotTopics[/url]

Once you have created a discussion thread, please post the link below in this discussion thread to enter the competition. :banana2:

This will make sure we register your entry and also means other users can reply to your discussion :yeah:

This competition will be judged by a panel of TSR Volunteers with lots of different rep prizes given out for:
- Most interesting conversation
- Most unusual topic
- Best poll
- Best debate conversation
- Best discussion starter - winning +2025 rep points!
- Many, many more...

You can create and enter as many discussions as you wish. :yep:

* But remember that there are no prizes for quantity of threads made. :naughty:

Only for their quality. That doesn't mean a thread has to be detailed though - sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones. :wink:

However, if you are found to be spamming the forums with threads, posting threads in the wrong place or spamming your own threads with lots of replies, you will be disqualified. :hand:

Full terms and conditions are in the spoiler below.
