Judging process
The judges are looking for inspirational students who have made a difference to people, communities or environments. The nominations are judged based on the following criteria:
- What impact their work has made
- Their innovation and how they’ve overcome challenges
- The skill they’ve demonstrated
- The dedication and commitment they’ve shown
There are two stages of judging: the sub panels and the main panel.
