Schools Award
Entry submissions
We are inviting schools to come forward with a video no longer than five minutes demonstrating how their project(s) promotes and addresses all, or any, of these four themes.
• Biodiversity
• Sustainability
• Food Growing
• Intergenerational Working
There will be two entry levels, Primary Schools and Secondary Schools. Each submission will be judged independently with awards of Bronze, Silver and Gold to be won. There will be a ‘Best in Category’ award for the submission from each entry level for the project that scores the most points during judging. The schools who win ‘Best in Category’ will receive a £250 voucher to spend on relevant equipment or materials to help with the continuation of their project.
If you wish to enter the awards, please complete the relevant Schools Award submission form.
Entry requirements
The video submission will be judged on four criteria, each of which will be marked out of 25. The four criteria, which should address any, or all, of the themes outlined above are:
• Originality
• Inclusivity
• Environmental impact
• Sustainable legacy
How to enter

Awards Evening
