Award Winner Nominations

2024 EdConnect Awards Nominations – applications in process

EdConnect’s Annual Awards celebrate the contribution of the people who deliver brighter futures to our young people through the EdConnect Program.

We are now taking applications to recognise the contribution of your EdConnect Volunteer, School Coordinator or a teacher
at your school by nominating them for an EdConnect award.

Let them know how important you think they are!

This year we once again welcome nominations from all our schools across Australia.

Nominations for 2024 are now closed. Our 2025 award categories will open in late 2025.
