BASES Sport and Exercise Sciences Infographic Competition
BASES Sport and Exercise Sciences Infographic Competition 2021
BASES, the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, is launching a new infographic competition for Level 3 students in Further Education within the UK who are studying Sports Science or Physical Education. Schools and Colleges (“Institutions”) are asked to encourage their students to be creative and take part in this new competition. One student per institution can be entered into our inaugural infographic competition. Students are to make their infographic about how one of the sports sciences – Biomechanics, Physiology or Psychology – can improve human performance. Infographics can be made by hand or using a computer. It is not possible to accept digitally animated infographics, but static graphics are welcome.
What is an infographic?
Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly.
How to enter?
Institutions are asked to set up their own competition and to judge their own students’ submissions. Once that Institution’s winning entry has been agreed, they are to upload it via the short online entry form, which will include key information about the student.
Deadline is by 9 am on Monday 13 December 2021. It is not possible to accept entries after the closing time.
How will the infographics be judged?
- Creativity in approach – Innovative angle on the content or creative interpretation of the question.
- Content – Clear, accurate and informative about one of the three sports sciences.
- Effective communication – presented and communicated in an engaging way.
Members of BASES’ Awards Advisory Group will shortlist entries by February 2022, and a panel of BASES’ Fellows will select a winner in March 2022.
