Nominating for the 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.
