Collaboration Award
The Collaboration Award recognises the importance of effective relationships and collaborations within and across disciplines to tackle difficult issues.
We want to celebrate collaborations which highlight what is working and what is possible when diverse organisations and sectors come together to achieve a shared goal.
Shortlist
Our shortlist for the 2020 awards have been finalised. See who has been nominated now.
Are you collaborating?
We want to hear from organisations that have successfully worked together on a project with a mix of organisations and individuals – for instance, local entrepreneurs, governments, funders, the private sector, consultants, academics or researchers. A successful collaboration could mean you’ve overcome particular obstacles, used technology creatively, or found new ways to collaborate across geographical boundaries. You may have had to compromise or take calculated risks with new collaborations that hadn’t been tried before.
Judging criteria
Your images and accompanying entry form will be judged on the following criteria:
- The narrative – how compellingly you tell the project’s story
- The currency – how you interpret and respond to current global challenges
- The reach – who and how many people were reached and how you measured this
- The impact – what is the likelihood of impact and sustainability
- The collaboration – how the collaboration led to the successes or failures of this project
