Nominating for the 2023 Yidan Prize

We welcome all nominations. You don’t need to be invited to submit nominations for either the Education Research or Education Development prize.

You cannot make a nomination (or support one) if:

  • you’d like to recognize your immediate family member(s)
  • you’d like to recognize—or you are—one of our current board directors, or on our current Judging or Advisory Committees
  • you’d like to recognize someone posthumously*.

*In the sad event that an individual nominee dies during the judging process, we’ll withdraw their nomination. If they were part of a team, we’ll still consider the rest of the team’s nomination.
