Our 2020 Awards are going virtual
As many of you know, we have had to cancel our annual in person Awards event this year due to COVID-19. Though this is a challenging time for everyone, we still believe it’s important to celebrate the hard work of our students. In line with the launch of our new home study courses, we have decided to run the Awards virtually. For the first time ever, we will welcome entries from individual students as well as student teams from all around the world.
So who can enter?
The situation this year is unique, so we are keen to celebrate as many young people as possible. If you fall into one of the categories below, then please enter your problem solving products:
- An individual student who has taken our Home Study courses
- A student team who has taken one of our courses at school
- An international student who has taken part in one of our courses at home or at school
How does it work?
- Students complete our entry form
- Entries will then be reviewed by our industry shortlisters
