In association with Rapid Electronics, Electronics Weekly has invited universities to enter into the competition their most promising students in the fields of electronics and software.

Ben Howard, manager for further and higher education at Rapid Electronics, said the competition would provide "an excellent platform for the students who, without any doubt, will soon be making big impressions within industry".

Both undergraduate and postgraduate students will be eligible for the award.
