It\u2019s good for not getting bored.\u201d\r\n\r\nWith the #CoolCareers campaign, Star is inviting everyone in the industry to share what refrigeration means to them by submitting photos (Freeze Frames) or short videos (Cold Cuts) of cool people, places and career highlights that warm their heart to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #CoolCareers.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe\u2019re enlisting the help of everyone in the industry to create awareness of what we do in a fun and current way, in the form of a photo contest on social media,\u201d Astrid Prado explained.\r\n\r\nThe contest will run until 6<sup>th <\/sup>October and the winning submission will be announced on 16<sup>th<\/sup> October, with the winner receiving an iWatch.\r\n\r\nTo find out more about Star\u2019s Women in Engineering campaign, see the <a title=\"Women in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/www.star-ref.co.uk\/careers\/women-in-engineering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">feature article<\/a>.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A photo and video competition hosted by the UK\u2019s largest independent cooling contractor Star Refrigeration","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Star Refrigeration Supports National Women in Engineering Day with Industry Wide Social Media Competition | Star Refrigeration<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A photo and video competition hosted by the UK\u2019s largest independent cooling contractor hopes to encourage future female engineers into the industry.
