    AWARDS T&Cs:


    Email your Entry form by 20 February 2023 – latest. It is essential that you meet this deadline to avoid missing the judging process. Entries received after this date will not be considered. A small entry fee will be required, for details please go to the cost of entry section.

    Q. How are they judged?

    A. An independent panel of expert judges, most of whom are teaching professionals, will select the winners for each of the Awards.

    Q. What advice can you give?

    A. Read the criteria! Not every product or service will meet all the criteria, but make life easy for the judges! You know your product or service very well – they don’t.

    You must match your entry as closely as possible, against the criteria asked for. Entries that do not match the majority of criteria will not be considered.

    Kindly limit the amount of supporting audio visual material to clips no longer than 3 minutes and only one per entry.

    If you are entering a service for an award or nominating a company or a person, it is even more vital that you produce clear and relevant explanatory paperwork – with support.

    Provide all necessary back-up material: explanations of the purpose of the product or service, how it works, what it aims to do and for whom, including testimonials from schools and colleges. Please try and obtain up to date testimonials from schools and colleges where possible. Do not just print the pages from your website for the judges to read!

    Include all information and resources that the judges will need to give your entry a fair hearing, e.g. passwords to enter websites. Nominations received with inadequate information or resources cannot be considered.

    Complete the nomination form in its entirety. Each entry must be made on a separate official entry form.

    Please note: The judges’ decision is final. The judges will place an entry in a more appropriate category if they think it is applicable. The organisers reserve the right to change deadline dates and categories as appropriate.
