The British High Commission is pleased to announce that the Digital Scrapbook Competition has been extended until Friday 29 June 2012.

The Digital Scrapbook Competition gives Bruneians studying in the UK a chance to voice their opinions about British education and talk about their experiences of living in the UK in a short 3 minute video clip.

Prizes includes an iPhone 4s, an iPad, an iPod Touch, an iPod Nano and an iPod shuffle! The prizes won’t go to the most “professional” production, but rather to the film which most powerfully conveys a personal experience of education in the UK.
