The 32 prizes recognise outstanding work from both undergraduate and postgraduate students across a number of sub-disciplines, and emphasise originality of thought, quality of research and excellence in presentation.

We encourage UK geography departments to submit innovative, high quality thesis research to the various award competitions.
