This year's categories

Best fundraisers
Last year the University of Exeter won this category by raising an incredible £5,040.30. Will anyone beat their total this year?

Best fundraising event
We love hearing about your creative fundraising events. Last year there were sponsored letter writing competitions, gigs, sleep-outs and ceilidhs. The University of Cambridge won the prize last year for their music festival.

Most regular fundraisers
It's not just the big events that count. Last year's winners, the University of Glasgow, took the prize for their 12 events including a cycle from Edinburgh to Glasgow, a winter folk night and a Secret Policeman's Ball.

Individual membership promo
Encourage your fellow students to join Amnesty International UK (the national organisation, not the university group) and their £7.50 annual membership fee will be added to your Raise-Off total. Each month we will report on how many members have joined up.  The university that signs up the most over the year will get a special prize.  We have plenty of materials to help you promote membership or spread the word by Facebook or Twitter.  We also offer all new student supporters a free and exclusive Amnesty t-shirt so everyone's a winner!

Best campaign action
Student activists are renowned for their headline-grabbing campaign actions, ranging from sleep-outs to photo petitions, flash mobs and demonstrations. This new award will go to the group that organises the most creative campaign action with the most impact in support of an Amnesty campaign.
