Tagging themes
This year, the posters entered into the competition will be analysed by researchers, looking for insights into what young people think makes their lives good and what they imagine a ‘positive’ childhood will look like in the future.
To help with this process we will be asking adults submitting entries to help identify themes within the posters. 
The researchers will also do this – but you know your young people best and your help will be invaluable in communicating their responses to us. 
When uploading your five entries, you will be asked to ‘tag’ each poster with up to five category tags. Please choose the tag(s) that you think fit the posters best. 

SEND
If applicable, please enter students with SEND into the category that best fits their work, regardless of their age. 

Your data will be processed in accordance with our privacy policy: https://www.britishscienceweek.org/privacy-policy/
 
If you have any questions about the competition, please email BSW@britishscienceassociation.org. 

Good luck with your entry/entries!
