Eligibility

This competition is open for both student and supervisor-led projects.
- For supervisor-led awards, a student may be attached to the project at the point of application (students nominated on initial applications must meet the academic criterion of a first-class degree).
- For student-led awards: one or both supervisors may be named on the application, but are not required to have formally agreed to supervise. Students are advised to consult with prospective supervisors before applying.
