The standard of entries this year was excellent, and the number of submissions was also high. Those who have reached the shortlist should be very proud. The shortlisted candidates are:  Karina Pavlova, Sam Baker, Joe Dawson and Jess Sharp. Many congratulations to all of you and good luck when you meet Peter Diapre at Sky Millbank next Friday.

Shortlisting is always difficult and we understand that many of you will feel disappointed. First and second year students should remember that those who were not shortlisted this time will have every opportunity to compete for the 2020 scholarship. When we have finished breifing those who are shortlisted, we will, of course, be pleased to offer feedback to all who made submissions.
