The Julian Trevelyan Memorial Competition in Arts, which is organised by TCFAC (Trevelyan College Fine Arts Committee) is open to all members of College, including SCR members. The event was originally made possible by the generosity of Julian Trevelyan's widow, Mary Fedden, herself a much sought-after artist but this year funding for the prizes is provided by Trevs SCR and TCFAC.

Closing date for entries is Friday 7 June. Work entered should be brought to the Dowrick Suite, on Friday 14 June.
