Next week sees the awards ceremony for the first ever Access to Understanding Europe PMC science-writing competition.

You can still get tickets for the awards event  here  which will take place at the British Library on Monday 11th March from 6.30 to 8.30pm.

At the event, there will be a few words from each of the judging panel, followed by presentations to the winners and a networking reception with complimentary drinks and light refreshments. Judges will include some observations about what makes a good lay summary in their discussions and there will be an opportunity for audience questions.  Should be a good evening.

There were over 400 entries to the competition and I am really pleased that the competition got off to such a good start in its first year.
