Agricultural students who want to write for our monthly student column have four days left to submit their winning entry.
We've been inundated with entries to our College Calendar competition ever since it launched in July, and the range of applicants have been vast. We've heard from farmers' sons to auctioneers' daughters, from Cornwall to the Highlands, studying everything from diplomas to degrees and everything in between.
We asked students to write 500 words on the subject "A career in the countryside" and tell us a bit about their background, but some students have gone one step further and filmed short videos to tell us about themselves and why they deserve to be the face of College Calendar.
Anyone starting college or university this autumn is eligible to apply and applicants can be following any agricultural, countryside or land-based course. Students already part-way into a course and returning to continue their studies will also be considered.
The students we take on will earn £50 a month which could be useful for topping up the student loan, buying books or getting in a few rounds at the bar. The position will also be a unique addition to the CV when the inevitable job hunt comes around.
What we're looking for:
• A natural, informative and amusing writing style
• People who can commit to writing a monthly 700-word column for the next academic year
• Web-savvy students who will be happy to share their experiences via blogs, video, FWispace forums, pictures and social networking sites like Facebook
How to enter:
1. Write a 500 word column on the subject "A career in the countryside". This could be about why you want to be a farmer or work on the land, or the best things about working in the great outdoors.
2. Write a paragraph or film a short piece about you - where you are from, your farming connections (if you have any) and what you are going to be studying or, if you started at college in a previous year, what course you are already studying.
3. Send entries to fwfarmlife@rbi.co.uk. They must be received before Friday 27 August to be considered.
