Competition: Sounds of UCL

Do you ever stop and just listen to your environment at UCL? We are looking for people to record the sounds of UCL in labs, corridors, study spaces, accommodation and rehearsal rooms, inside and outside. We will add the best recordings to UCL's SoundCloud channel , but there will be special prizes for the top three entries ( see rules below ). UCL has nearly 150,000 followers on SoundCloud, more than any other university in the world. We will cite you as the recordist of the track and publish the tracks under Creative Commons, so that our followers around the world can remix our 'Sounds of UCL'. We will also be building an interactive map of UCL, where visitors can click on locations and 'hear' those places, modelled loosely on the Guardian's interactive sights and sounds from the Shard project ( http://gu.com/p/3d4q6 ). Need some examples? We have already put together a playlist of UCL Soundscapes (embedded below), from places including the kitchen of the Print Room Café and a class at Bloomsbury Fitness. To all researchers, we are particularly interested in recordings of your research environment, be it the interesting sound made by a piece of equipment or the hubbub of a busy cell culture lab on a Friday afternoon. Be daring and experimental (we know it's in your nature)! Deadline: Friday, 22 March (last day of term) - Competition rules and guidelines - Prizes: First - £50 in vouchers Second - £30 in vouchers Third - £20 in vouchers How to submit: If possible, try record your track in Wav or Aiff format, not in a compressed MP3 format.
