We invite entries from UK universities and university professionals across 14 categories, which are shortlisted and evaluated by an expert panel. An ideas bank of all winning and shortlisted entries will be published on the Guardian website after the ceremony.
Judges will assess each entry for:
-
Innovation – what makes it new, unique and inspiring?
-
Delivery – does it offer excellence in planning, teamwork, partnerships and value?
-
Impact – what difference has it made, within the university and beyond?
-
Evidence – are the claims made in the submission supported by evidence?
The winners will be announced at the award ceremony on Thursday 2 April 2020.
