To help us ensure an anonymised judging process, please ensure that the student’s name and school name are not included in any uploaded files - these should only be included where specified on the entry form itself.
If the entry is a non-written piece, it should be accompanied by a short explanation of the piece (maximum 100 words). This can be included either at the end of the submission entry, or uploaded as a separate file.
As an optional extra, all entries may also include a maximum 100 word self-reflection on the project by the students. This is an open reflection but could include, for example, what they have learnt by participating, any skills they have developed, what their ‘take away’ from the project is, what they have enjoyed or found challenging, or any actions they have been inspired to take. The self-reflection can be included either at the end of the submission entry, or uploaded as a separate file.
