Today Concrete celebrates the release of its 400th issue since it’s launch in January 1992.
Concrete’s Co-Editors-in-Chief Eve Attwood and Matthew Stothard said, ” Happy 400 issues to Concrete! A massive thanks to our team and lovely writers for contributing this issue as we look back at how Concrete has changed from when it first began all the way back in 1992. We hope you enjoy reading as much as us!”
UEA’s Pro-Vice Chancellor for Student Experience and Education, Prof. Emma Sutton-Pavli said, “Since its launch in 1992, Concrete has provided a space for student writers to develop and showcase their skills in investigating, researching, and writing the stories that matter to them and their peers. As the publication reaches its 400th edition, we look forward to reading and reflecting upon many more articles and contributions from all areas of our study community, building upon an enviable legacy that places Concrete amongst the very best student papers at any university.”
This comes as the paper celebrates 6 nominations at the upcoming national Student Publication Association awards.
The paper is up for Best Science Section and Best Sports Section, whilst Venue is nominated for Best Culture Section and Best Magazine Design.
Additionally, Co-Editor-in-Chief Matthew Stothard is nominated for Best Arts or Culture Piece for his article on The Gloucester exhibition at Norwich Castle in March 2023, while Sports Editor Sofia Royal is up for Best Sports Reporter.
