Nominations

How awards are decided

01 Nomination Schools, teachers, parents and partners submit nominations with evidence: results, reports, project work.
02 Shortlisting A panel shortlists in each category, with places reserved across regions so one country cannot dominate.
03 Verification Results and claims are verified with the school before any shortlist is published.
04 Selection An independent jury of educators and professionals selects the recipients.
05 Presentation Awards are presented at the annual conference, with prizes shared between the recipient and their school.

Recognise someone

Nominations open with the annual cycle. Endowing an award in a family name is one way to support the work.
