Student Cash Contests & Competitions
Winning some extra cash is useful at the best of times. If you're a student then most likely you'll be well aware of the need to have some cash reserves. Entering student cash contests and competitions is one great way of building up your bank balance.
Of course, most cash competitions are open to anyone and as a student you'll be eligible to enter just the same as anyone else. But there are occasional contests that come up that you must be an official student to enter.
Winning a prize is great in any circumstances, but winning a student competition could get you a lot more than just money in the bank. The recognition and achievement can be a big thing for many of us.
On this page I'll be trying to get you listings of any student cash prize contests that I come across. You'll see a list further below. If you're involved with any student organisations and have a contest you'd like to be mentioned here please feel free to mail me and send the details. My contact details are on the about page.
Before we get to the list of open competitions, it's worth taking a look at some of the videos on Youtube. They'll give you come idea of the types of contests you can find.
