Here's a great opportunity for students in the UK..an award to recognise your great achievements in memory of a good friend and supporter of Enternships - Anjool Malde. See below for details:

The entries for the inaugural Student Personality of the Year award has now opened. A £1,000 prize will be given to the student who has made the greatest impact across student media, student societies and student nightlife during their university career. The award has been created in honour of 2005 Graduate of the Year Runner-Up Anjool Malde who was an avid supporter of the Real World Awards and tragically passed away in July 2009.

The judging criteria have been selected in memory of Anjool’s achievements. While reading Geography at St Peter’s College, Oxford University, he wrote for student, local and national newspapers, as well as joining BBC Oxford as a Radio Presenter & Journalist, where he interviewed celebrities such as Geri Halliwell, Pharrell Williams and world-famous beatboxing champion Killa Kela.

Anjool was also a member of 20 university societies where he took on several committee positions including joining the Standing Committee of The Oxford Union, the world’s most prestigious debating society and PR Officer of Oxford Entrepreneurs, Europe’s largest student enterprise society. In 2006, soon after graduating, Anjool co-founded Alpha Parties where he organized hundreds of events for young professional graduates, interns and students in London.

David Langer, 2007 Graduate of the Year Runner-Up and close personal friend of Anjool said: “Anjool was an inspiration and role model to everyone who knew him. His achievements speak for themselves and he was incredibly generous in giving his time to help others achieve some of the things he had done.”

Darius Norell, CEO of Real World said: “We are proud to support this fantastic award in memory of Anjool. He made the most of his time at university and was a worthy prize winner. We look forward to receiving inspiring entries for this inaugural award.”
