Brand New Award Categories
Nominations close Wednesday 15th June 2022
Started in 1999 by the Design and Technology Association Trustees, the Design and Technology Association Excellence Awards give professional recognition to individuals nominated by their colleagues for their inspirational contribution towards design and technology. This prestigious awards ceremony is in partnership with The Institution of Engineering and Technology and will be taking place on Friday 14th October 2022.
To celebrate the whole reach of our subject, we have revised and created 12 brand new categories this year.
Industry engagement, your D&T support staff, and educational research are all vital components of design and technology and worth individual praise.
And we have special awards for pupils at different stages of their development, as they deserve recognition and motivation to continue fulfilling their academic journey.
The judging panel consider the nominations and select the award winners based on the information provided on the nomination form and the supporting evidence. Any prior knowledge of the candidate will not be considered. Therefore you must select the appropriate category for your nominee and meet the category criteria.
