Enter our monthly #loveUCL Instagram stories competitions in Term 3 2021 and be in with a chance to win Amazon vouchers!
Due to the disruptions to campus life and the fact that not all students are on campus we've changed the usual #loveUCL Instagram competition so UCL students can enter wherever you are!
To enter our new-look monthly competition – and be in with the chance of winning a £50 Amazon voucher – share an Instagram story on the month's theme and tag @ucl.
Each competition will start and be announced on the @ucl Instagram stories at:
- 11am BST, Monday, 26 April 2021
- 11am BST, Monday, 17 May 2021
- 11am BST, Monday, 7 June 2021.
Once the theme has been announced you'll have 24 hours (until 11:00am the following day) to share your story. It can be a photo, video or just text but it can only be one slide max. We'll share the best entries on the @ucl Instagram stories over the 24 hours and the winner will be selected through audience vote. We'll announce the winner on the following Friday.
Make sure you're following @ucl on Instagram and keep your eye out for each competition to enter!
See below for more details and the terms and conditions.
If you are on campus, keep sharing your photos of life at UCL with the #loveUCL hashtag as we'll keep sharing them on our Instagram!
