Competition

After six months and well over 1000 applications commenced, this year’s record-breaking Reimagine Education Awards cycle has now come to a close. Excepting the few who, claiming extenuating circumstances, were granted brief extensions, all submissions have now been transferred to at least three external judges for review.

Attempting to ensure that applicants can rest assured that their projects are evaluated with unparalleled rigor, just under 200 judges have been recruited by the Reimagine Education team. This ensures that all submissions will receive at least three evaluations, and the eventual winner will have its excellence corroborated by 13 judges from across the educational spectrum.

Applicants can expect the shortlist to be announced by Monday 16^th October.
