Create a video that promotes speech and language therapy for students currently studying for their GCSEs and A-Levels, then post it on TikTok and send the link to padraigin.oflynn@rcslt.org by 11.59pm on Friday 19 November. You can submit as an individual, or on behalf of your SLT society. Just make sure you include a link to the Become an SLT webpage, rcslt.org/BecomeAnSLT, either in the comments of your video or referenced as a link in your TikTok bio.

On Friday 3 December we’ll take a look at all the videos and judge by the number of likes. The three individual videos with the most likes will receive voucher prizes, and the SLT society video with the most likes will receive money for the SLT department to spend on resources which directly benefit students. Read the terms and conditions for more information.
