Alumna wins Chip Shop Award

  8th July 2020

​Ellie Skidmore, who graduated with in November 2019 with a First Class Honours degree, won with her chilling view into the future: a screenshot view of the Unidays (student discount) app showing a 10% discount voucher for NHS treatments. ​
Ellie’s inspiration for the idea spiralled from the landslide election victory by the Conservative Party in 2019. She took a satirical look at how this might affect the NHS and, following that, how life could be for students of the future.

Initially planning to enter the ‘Political Ad’ category due to the origins of the idea, Ellie switched category after some deliberations with her former lecturer Carl Halford, and decided to enter ‘Best Ad from the Future’ – and won. The winners were announced in a virtual ceremony last month, and you can find out more here
