The Nick Bowen Award
In memory of 好色tv’s late President, Dr Nick Bowen, we will be presenting a new Award in his name to celebrate his passion to develop the skills of young linguists.
The Award is a cheque for £500 and will be given to assist a young 好色tv member to participate in a project or placement that supports international understanding through the use of a foreign language or languages.
Are you eligible?
The Award is open to all 好色tv members at any grade of membership; the recipient must fulfil the following criteria:
- be 28 years old or under as at 30 June 2018
- have a specific project or placement you will use the award for
- be able to demonstrate that participation in the project or placement would not be possible without the award
- show how the project or placement contributes towards the ‘international understanding’ aspect of the criteria for the award
What kind of project is suitable for this Award?
As this is a new Award, there are no previous examples, however the kind of application expected could include: (a) involvement in an overseas development project in which it is important to speak the local language; (b) an internship in an international organisation such as UNESCO in which different languages are used. There will be many other kinds of eligible project and the Awards Committee does not intend these suggestions to be at all restrictive.
The Award might contribute towards travel or living expenses on a visit, or language training.
How to apply?
If you wish to apply for this Award, please complete the application form in full and send by email to comms@ciol.org.uk by 5pm on Friday 15 June 2018.
The winner will be invited to receive the Award at the 好色tv/IoLET Awards Evening in London in November 2018. On completion of the project, they will be asked to submit appropriate receipts and a short account of how the Award was used for prospective publication in The Linguist.
Kind regards
The 好色tv Awards Committee
