Brit 2021 Challenge

At the end of each week, you must submit your own millage for distance travelled during that week. Access individual mileage form.

Watch our handy how-to video for more information.

 So, you’ve signed a team up for the BRIT 2021 Challenge at Canterbury Christ Church University for the next 5 weeks! What do you need to do next?

1. Firstly, make sure you’ve recruited everyone you want to add into your team. The more people in your team, the more miles you’ll accumulate! Any new members you add to your team throughout the challenge, can then be added to the list of team members when you submit your weekly team mileage.
   
   TIP: It’s a good idea to have all of your team members in a group chat, so you can encourage each other but also distribute information quickly and easily.
   
   
2. When your team members complete an activity, they should visit this webpage and scroll down to the “Mileage Submission for Individuals” section and then complete the form. It will ask them which team they are in, how many miles they completed and their method of travel. You will then automatically receive an email with the details of their miles and mode of travel.
   
   
3. We’ve created a handy excel sheet, which you can use to keep track of your team’s activities in one place. When you receive an email with their activity, just fill in the details on your excel sheet. You don’t need to send this spreadsheet in, but you’ll find it easier to fill in the team mileage submission form at the end of each week with all the information in one place.
   
   
4. You will need to submit your team’s mileage by midnight on the Sunday of every week for it to be included in the weekly roundup which will be included in a social media summary each Monday. This will include a leader board so you can see how you’re getting on compared to other teams! But also the overall total as a University to see how close we are to the target of 2,021 miles.
   
   To submit your team’s miles click here, and fill in the form with the following information:

• How many miles your team completed this week
• Which of your team members contributed miles (your team members are already listed so you’ll just need to tick next to their name, but you can add new names if you recruit new members throughout the challenge)
• Which of your team members completed the most amount of miles this week
• Submit any photos of your team’s activities that we may feature in our progress updates (optional)

We are also asking teams to raise as much money as they can in support BRIT and their four charity partners, who provide mental health support for young adults. To do this, donators will need to visit our Virgin Money Donations page. 

We are also tracking which team can attract the most donations. To do this, you will need to encourage anybody wanting to donate to your team to write your team’s name in the comment’s section when they submit their donation.
