These new Awards - offered in partnership by the NCGE and Enterprise Educators UK - specifically reward those working as enterprise educators supporting student and graduate entrepreneurship in higher education.

The three categories will recognise:

1) Enterprise Educators who are transforming the enterprise curriculum;
2) Enterprise Champions who are supporting extra-curricular activities; and
3) Student Enterprise Clubs and Societies supporting peer learning.

Entrants will be asked to submit case study examples online (maximum 700 words) detailing the impact they are having (how they are ‘making a difference’) in enterprise education.

Each submission will be judged using the following criteria:

• Demonstration of good practice
• Innovation
• Evidence of ‘making a difference’
• Impact
