About

The Green Gown Awards is a two stage application process. The benefits of a two stage process are to make it easier for applicants; to enable a feedback process to achieve a more uniform quality in the applications seen by the full judging panel; and to allow recognition of a greater number of initiatives (through publication of a considerable number of short listed entries).

Stage 1 involved a short application form. A small panel of sector experts assessed these to produce a short list for each category. Stage 1 applications closed on 13 July 2012. Shortlisted entries are now invited to submit a fuller application for Stage 2 and the deadline for submission is Friday 14 September 2012. These will then be assessed by a larger judging panel with experts from both inside and outside further and higher education at a special ‘judgement day’ in October 2012. This panel will select winning, and where appropriate highly commended, entries for each category from the shortlist. The Awards will be announced and presented at the Green Gown Awards Ceremony to be held in November 2012, venue/date to be confirmed shortly.
