The Mary Mulvihill Association invites submissions to its 2026 student media competition on the theme of ‘Time’. Entries are sought from students of all disciplines—undergraduate or postgraduate—studying at third-level institutions anywhere on the island of Ireland.

The topic may be addressed in scientific, critical, imaginative or other terms. Entries are welcome in any media format: written texts, photos, infographics, comic strips, or other visual forms.

Interviews may be presented as text, video, or audio. There are no prescriptions on how it might be approached. We invite entrants to explore the theme of time from any angle.

The closing date is 12.25am, Tuesday 7 April 2026 (or midnight, Dublin Mean Time).

The Mary Mulvihill Award is a project of Remembering Mary, an initiative established by family and friends of the late Mary Mulvihill (1959–2015) to honour her memory and her work in science journalism, science communication and heritage and to promote her legacy. It administers and awards funds to commemorate her work and its significance. This is the tenth and final iteration of the Mary Mulvihill Award in its current guise – the Association plans to wind down its activities next year.
