Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group (GLTRG)

The Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group offers 2 awards. The first is an annual prize of £100 for the best undergraduate dissertation in leisure/tourism/sports geography, submitted as part of a BA, BSc or BEd degree. The dissertation may be multidisciplinary but needs to be informed through the geographical concepts of place and space. We also identify two Highly Commended dissertations, with the students receiving a certificate to reflect this achievement.  Entries should be accompanied by a copy of the instructions given to students, and a note of the dissertation credit rating and mark awarded. Please also include a (post-studies) contact email address for the student, so that they can be notified of the result of the competition and if any hard copies of the dissertation need to be returned. A department should not normally submit more than one entry each for UG and for PG. 

Submissions to: gltrg.rgs@gmail.com (Dr Anna de Jong, Awards and Prize Coordinator)

Deadline: 12 July 2024
