Now open: Early Career Pharmacologists Writing Competition

The fourth Pharmacology Matters Writing Competition for early career pharmacologists* (ECPs) is now open.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have your voice heard, develop your writing skills and share your science.

We are looking for informative, thoughtful and unique articles on any pharmacology-related topic which you think is relevant or useful to the public and your peers.

The winning article will be published in Pharmacology Matters magazine. The winner will also receive a year’s complimentary membership of the British Pharmacological Society.

The three previous winners have covered varying topics . In 2021, Abigail Thomas examined the rise of community pharmacy, in 2020, aging-related drugs were on the agenda for Anitha Nair, and in 2019, our first winner Josh Dignam explored the use of snake venom in heart disease.

How to apply

Articles should be no longer than 1000 words and aimed at a public audience. Feel free to include images and figures, but remember these must be understandable by a non-specialist audience. Any references should be added as hyperlinks to the relevant text. Please follow our author guidelines when writing your article.

Please note, we can only accept original submissions. Articles will be reviewed by our Editorial Board and amendments may be made with the consent of the author.

When your article is ready, please submit it via email to chloe.gynne@bps.ac.uk using the subject line ‘Pharmacology Matters ECP Competition Entry’. Please submit your entry as a Word document along with any image files.

The closing date is 23:59 on Tuesday 31 January 2023.

The entries will be judged anonymously by a panel of judges, and we will aim to publish the winning piece in the spring issue of Pharmacology Matters.

If you have any questions, please contact chloe.gynne@bps.ac.uk.

Good luck!
