Award Entries
Entries into the Awards are submitted via an online form from this website.
A new Award entry process is currently being developed to eliminate the design element of presentations and improve efficiency.
Schools may enter multiple Award categories, however, separate applications targeting the specific category must be entered. Multiply entries with the one presentation will not be accepted.
All Award entries (with the exception of the Best Use of a Grant Award and PP5 Recycling Champion Award ) are automatically entered into the Regional Awards from which the State and Kevin Heinze Perpetual Awards winners are chosen.
Award Judging
Award presentations are judged according to a determined set of judging criteria which must be addressed in the entry. Judging is undertaken by the VSGP Committee Advisory Committee and Awards rewarded to the highest scoring schools.
Schools who won an Award category in the previous year, may not enter the same category unless it is with new/different achievements in their garden than previously entered.
Award Presentations - new system being developed
The new Award entry form, currently in development, will include all required criteria in a provided template. Entrants will be able to directly add answers and photos into the template, eliminating the creation of a presentation
The new Award entry form will open on Monday 2 June.
