This week, nominated individuals from the Experimental and Diploma Programmes who have produced exceptional work in their Core Studies will present their projects to juries. Nominees for AA Writing Prizes and the Dennis Sharp Writing Prize will present their work on Wednesday, which will be open for members of the School Community to attend, and we invite everybody to participate in what promises to be a lively discussion and debate. Projects nominated for prizes in Communications and Media Studies and Environmental and Technical Studies will be exhibited online after the juries have taken place.
