This year’s winners will be chosen by a panel of judges comprised of education leaders from across the globe. Additional judges will be added soon.
Submissions are allowed from education institutions only. Submissions can include partnership projects but must be submitted by the education institution. Submissions are not eligible from technology vendors or technology services companies. Any such submissions will be disqualified. Eligible institutions can enter up to three submissions per year.
To be eligible, an initiative must have been launched during the period of January 1, 2024, through May 30, 2025. Only submissions written in English will be accepted. The project or initiative could be in any stage of development, from a pilot to already launched as a product/service. However, note that Gartner’s assessment framework weighs more favorably those projects that are already delivering tangible benefits and results (both qualitative and quantitative).
No. Any K-12 and higher education institution meeting the inclusion criteria can submit an innovation.
