Judges & Criteria

All entries will be judged using a points-based system, allowing our judges to easily benchmark each entry against the others. Each of the four criteria can be awarded up to a maximum of 25 points, with the total number of points accumulating to determine a final score out of 100. With equal weighting across each of the four criteria, please ensure you take your time to demonstrate quality.

Entries should not exceed 1,250 words in total and should relate to activities carried out within the most recent 12-month period prior to the submission deadline. Please ensure your entry is submitted by the date listed on the main page.
