It's probably time to make your own AYW Duck

The Thomas Clarkson Medal is our most coveted award BUT…. Our #AwardYourWork Rubber Duck comes in a close 2nd.. If you don’t have one now’s the time to make your own*

We understand the pressures of undergraduate life, which is why it’s essential to find moments of relaxation and creativity amidst the chaos. That’s why we have created our very own AwardYourWork Crochet Duck!

Crocheting isn’t just about crafting cute critters; it’s also a powerful tool for promoting mindfulness and reflection. With each stitch, take a moment to breathe, relax, and appreciate the journey that brought you here. And if you haven’t received the AwardYourWork Duck at our past Summit, now’s your chance to make your own! Whether you’re a crochet newbie or a seasoned pro, this project offers a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of academic life. So gather your yarn stash, dust off your crochet hooks, and let’s get quacking!

Share your crocheted creations with us on Instagram using #AwardYourWork. Let’s see those ducks waddle their way into our hearts! and embark upon the next phase of their journey with clarity and purpose.

*The Duck, not the Medal, you have to be a Global Winner to own one of those.
