Overview

Welcome to the University of Cambridge Student Switch Off campaign – your chance to win prizes for yourself and money for your JCR/MCR summer garden party, all for doing easy things to save energy.

Money for the summer garden party?

Yep! Sixteen of the Cambridge colleges are competing to show their energy-saving credentials and at the end of the year the college that’s got the most involved in the campaign will win £250 towards their garden party. To help your college come top make sure you follow our energy saving-tips and check out the latest leaderboard here.

Interesting, how can I win stuff?

We’ve got loads of great prizes to give out in our photo competitions, like Ben & Jerry’s (big tubs!), formal hall tickets, Lush cosmetics and NUS extra cards. These run once a fortnight and usually involve uploading a picture of yourself saving energy onto the Facebook page or on Instagram via #CambridgeSSO. There are lots of other competitions as well so get on the email list and like the Facebook page so you don’t miss out.
