All entries will be judged using a points-based system, allowing our judges to easily benchmark each entry against each other. 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 1250 words in total and should relate to activities conducted from June 2023 and June 2024. Please ensure your entries are in by 30 September 2024.
