Sound Environmental Impact Awards

What are the Sound Environmental Impact Awards?

Sound Impact is an environmental accreditation scheme with an awards element that has a proven track record of greening individual Students’ Unions. Uniquely, Sound Impact is all about practical actions rather than policy and process. 

The scheme is now in its fourth year and continues to go from strength-to-strength. Eighty-six Students’ Unions from all corners of the UK have entered the scheme this year. Making it our most successful year so far!

Your chance to take part

Students’ Unions are busy getting their submissions ready for the 18 December 2009 deadline. If you’re a student, Students’ Union staff member or University/College staff member why not get in contact with your Union to see if you can help.

To find out if your Students’ Union has entered the scheme email soundimpactawards@nussl.co.uk.

Calling all filmmakers

The Ecologist Communications Challenge Award is one of four special achievement awards available to Unions who have entered Sound Impact this year.

It aims to promote engaging environmental activities through the production of a one minute video. The message will be spread by uploading the video onto YouTube and encouraging students to vote for their favourite video via the Ecologist website.

What we want is a great idea that will have an impact on others. This is all about creativity, originality, clarity and ideas. For more information click here.
