What are the key dates?

Entries are open now, and the winners will be revealed at our Awards Ceremony in London on April 24th 2026!

What prizes are up for grabs?

Each award comes with a unique prize - including fast-tracked places on graduate scheme, entry level roles or summer internships. You could also win mentorship opportunities, cash prizes, insight days and more!

How many awards can I apply to?

You can only apply for ONE award each year, so make sure to select the award you resonate with the most.

Can I enter if I am an international student?

Each award category will have its own entry criteria - please check the requirements regarding eligibility for each individual award.

Does it matter if I am studying unique subjects?

No! We welcome applicants from all subject backgrounds - check the entry criteria for each award to see which align closest to your subjects.

Will I only benefit from the awards if I win?

As soon as you start your application you'll begin to gain valuable experience. From practicing online tests, to experiencing assessment centres, you'll be a winner regardless of the outcome. Many of our award partners have opportunities available for all finalists, not just the winner.
