Super pleased to say you can now read my essay here! (featuring @angelcakepie2.bsky.social because I’m incapable of writing an essay that’s not about folk music in some capacity…)
I hope anyone who reads it enjoys - I loved writing on this subject, and thanks to BOA for running the competition!
BOA is delighted to announce the recipients of our 2025 Undergraduate Essay Competition!
To read the three winning essays and two highly commended entries, you can visit our Articles page here: buff.ly/TKssPD8
