New competition!

Hi there folks. We’ve got a competition for you! If you’re already sick of having Pot Noodle thrust in your face and running the gauntlet that is Oxford Road, this prize might cheer you up a bit…

It’s Jack Daniel’s birthday – again! – and The JD Set is offering two lucky Pulp readers the chance to head down to London on October 8th for a very special gig featuring Brett Anderson, Carl Barât, and Jon McClure (Reverend and the Makers). Not only that, but they’re throwing in travel and accommodation! We’d love the lucky winner to write up the gig for Pulp as well – so you’ll even get your words in the magazine and on this website!

To enter, just click this link. You must be over 18. You’ll be redirected to JD’s age verification site, and then back to the Pulp site with details of the competition and how to enter. You’ve only got until September 28th to get your entries in, so don’t hang around. Best of luck!

Oh and if you see me trapped under a pile of leaflets and stickers outside uni, give us a hand?

Pulp nominated for awards!

Paul Capewell — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:30:28 +0000

Pulp 2008/2009 has been nominated for two awards in this year’s Guardian Student Media Awards!

Pulp, led last year by editor Holly Dicker, has been selected in two categories at November’s prestigious awards. The magazine, notable last year for its striking and unique design has been recognised as such, and is nominated in the ‘student publication design of the year’ award. And the website pulpmagazine.co.uk (2008/09 edition) has been selected in the ‘student website of the year’ category.

The full list of nominees is published in the Guardian’s Media section a week today – Monday 28th September. The awards take place in London on November 25th.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in Pulp last year, and here’s to another great year for Pulp!

pulpmagazine.co.uk is back!

PULP — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:22:51 +0000

After a long, quiet summer, Pulp is pleased to announce the return of both the magazine and the website! Under mostly new management, and with new editor James Harker at the helm, Pulp has been reborn once more.

Over the coming weeks as you get settled into uni, this website will host all of the great content from the monthly magazine, as well as exclusive features and Pulp’s world-renowned video content!

If you want to get involved with the magazine and/or website this year, be sure to get in touch with editor-in-chief James Harker or online editor Paul Capewell.

Finally, as James so succinctly says in his editorial for the first issue, remember that Pulp, and pulpmagazine.co.uk is here for you, every step of the way. We hope you have a great freshers period, whether you’re a new student or not, and that you get the year off to a good start.
