A competition to celebrate the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals to science, tech, maths and medicine!
PRISM Exeter. in partnership with the Intercom Trust, Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and the University of Exeter, are challenging secondary school, college, and university students across the South West to discover lesser-known LGBTQIA+ scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians and medics and celebrate them. We want to know whose life and/or work you find inspiring and why.
One winner will receive a cash prize of £100 and two runners-up will each receive a cash prize of £50. As the theme for LGBT+ History Month 2024 is “Medicine - #UnderTheScope”, we have teamed up with Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to offer a special additional prize for this year’s competition. The highest ranked entry championing an LGBTQ+ medical professional will have their entry transformed into a poster to be displayed in the Trust's hospitals and be invited to spend 0.5 - 7 days work experience with the Trust!
This competition is open to students aged 11+ across Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol
