At each International Conference we celebrate and showcase our members achievements through an Excellence Awards Gala event. We invite members and institutions to reflect on the terrific projects, publications and activities that have occurred since July 2018 and to submit a nomination. Please contact Mandy McFarland with any queries.

​

Judges
These will then be judged by a select group of our Fellows. Judges have the option to award winners in both School and Tertiary organisations as well as in smaller less resourced institutions. These awards provide significant Industry recognition and kudos for both members and their institutions.

​

Awards

The three finalists from each category will be offered a complimentary invitation to join Cameron Pegg's pre-conference workshop entitled Planning the Perfect Presentation. You will also be invited to showcase their entries at an Awards Breakfast on 1 June and the Winners will be announced at the Awards Lunch later that day. 

​

Who can apply?

Awards are open to Educate Plus members in both the tertiary and school sectors and also our partners. The judges have the option to award a winner in each sector. Projects commenced after July 2018 are eligible. Many projects that were presented in a different format have now become more digital and we encourage you to highlight these in your application.
