From billboards to megaphones and flyers galore, the competition is drumming up great excitement amongst students over the prospect of living like an icon for a year.
“This has seen entries from a variety of hopefuls from musicians and actors to volunteers, sports players and club captains, getting creative and imaginative with head to head student dance battles in the street, outrageous party tricks and remarkable stories of the inspiring things Leeds’ students are doing.
