There is one awards for Primary and one award
for Secondary in each category except the Art award (see below for
details).
- Religious Education
1a. Overall concept:
For gardens which, overall, reflect and inspire
spiritual and community values. Entries will be both horticulturally
interesting and show good conceptual thinking based on the idea behind
the Awards.
1b. Memorial gardens:
Gardens which are designed as a memorial either to a person or to an
idea or event.
1c. A 'faith-inspired' garden:
For gardens which either reflect characteristics of garden traditions in
a faith (see, e.g. the faith gardens on the REEP website) or make
some reference to the beliefs and practices of a faith.
- Environmental & Citizenship Studies
2a. Ecology and wildlife preservation:
For gardens which promote principles of ecology and wildlife
conservation. This may be anything from an organic vegetable garden
to a ‘wild’ garden.
2b. Community involvement:
For gardens which have been developed, or which are designed to
promote, involvement of different groups in the community, including
the school.
2c. Urban and rural contexts:
For gardens which are especially appropriate for, or make imaginative
use of, their surroundings, whether these are urban or rural.
(n.b. Urban and rural will be treated as two separate subsections of
this category, making a total of four Awards in all).
2d. Participation in planning urban space:
For schemes, based in towns or cities, which show schools
involvement in the wider area, preferably incorporating groups beyond
the school. The Award looks for awareness of local planning issues
and for collaborative working.
- Art (Joint award with ACE)
This section is slightly different to the others. See below for details
of the new awards. Please note also that the deadline for entries
in the Art categories has been moved to June 30th.
3a. Incorporation of a work of art:
For a garden which uses art in an imaginative way as a integral part of
its design.
ACE has kindly donated further funds. The prizes
are now, therefore, two of £1,000 each - one for a primary and
one for a secondary school.
3b. Involvement of an artist:
For a design where the school has planned the garden in association
with an artist. This Award is for £3,000: £500 for the school and
£2,500 for the artist to enable her or him to work with the school in
realising the project.
There is only one £3,000 Award in this category, but a £500 Award will
be made to a primary or secondary school depending on who wins the
larger Award (i.e. to a secondary school if the primary school wins)
- Music
4a. 'Garden' compositions:
For a composition designed in association with the entry, which could
be played in the garden. Winners in this category may spend the
Award either on developing the garden or on performance of the
piece.
4b. Using music in the entry presentation:
For the effective use of original (or existing but copyright free) music,
produced via information technology, to support and enhance the
entry.
- Information Technology
5a. Presentation of entry:
For imagination and technical excellence in the
presentation of an entry or for the production of a ‘Virtual Garden’.
There will also be one overall award winner. See the prizes
page for details.
