A big thank you to everyone who entered our careers columnist contest this year. We were inundated with entries, which means the judging process has taken longer than expected.

The judges are now making their final decisions, and the winners will be announced next week, so stay tuned.

For all the updates on the contest, and our other news, make sure to follow us on Twitter @naturejobs, like us on Facebook, and sign up for our fortnightly newsletter here: Newsletter sign-up.
