Q-ED - Cash Prizes

Fancy paying off that Student loan?
Well now's your chance with over £17k in cash prizes for UK students with Q-ED.

We're conducting a nationwide search for the student with the biggest digital profile. So we're giving three lucky students the opportunity to share cash prizes totalling £17,500 in our new Q-ED competition.

What's so great about Q-ED?

Every student has a digital profile - how they appear to other people online, how popular they are, how active they are online and most importantly when they post things online does anyone read it. This digital profile can be measured in a single score - your QDOS score.

For those students who spend more time on Facebook than in lectures, and would rather update their blog than get a part-time job, Q-ED is the perfect way to bag some much needed free cash and compete with your mates for the biggest QDOS.

Who can join Q-ED?

Q-ED is a competition open to anyone 18 or over in full time education, or who has graduated in the past 2 years. All you need to do is have the highest QDOS score at the time when the competition ends on 30th June 2008 - if yours is one of the top 3 QDOS's, then you win a fantastic cash prize:

First Place £10,000
Second Place £5,000
Third Place £2,500
