BNOC of the Year: Nominations are open

The next BNOC of the year is lurking out there somewhere. They could even be sitting next to you as you read this article.

Be they the captain of your sport’s team, the person who hosts the best club night, or simply that person who is out every single night from LoveDough to Propaganda- we want you to nominate them.

What makes a BNOC?

1. DISGUSTING LEVELS OF POPULARITY– as the acronym suggests, they needs to be someone everyone knows. Whether they’re sipping cocktails in Tower Bar, posing outside the cathedral or stressing in the library, everyone around them knows who they are. Or at the very least has Facebook stalked them. Anonymity is not a concept BNOCs are familiar with.

2. THEY’RE THAT GUY or GIRL– you may never have met the person, but their name is constantly associated with a certain function or purpose within the university community. For example “you know the Superbull guy? The guy who is always at Superbull! Superbull Guy!”

3.  INEFFABLE UBIQUITY- neither you nor anyone you know has ever actually met this person directly, nor do you know what their purpose or function within the university actually is, but you all know their name anyway. You’ve probably seen their names pop up on Lincoln’s renowned bitchy Yik Yak page, too.

We will photoshop this onto your profile pic if you win
