The Next Gen Awards | Virtual Awards Ceremony 2025

With so many young people leading projects in their communities, the Next Gen Awards have been created as an opportunity to showcase our next generation of young innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders across the country. Over the duration of our shortlisting process, our panel of judges have shortlisted applicants who have demonstrated outstanding innovations, 21st-century skills, leadership, and education in their local communities. The Next Gen National Awards Ceremony has been designed to recognise all of our Next Gen Award finalists, and showcase one winner for each award category.  

The Next Gen Awards 2025 saw young changemakers and innovative educators from across the country nominating, and after a rigorous judging process, finalists will be announced for each of our award categories. Join us for our Virtual Awards Ceremony to hear from each of our finalists as they share the impactful projects they're leading in their school communities, before we announce our Next Gen winners for 2025! 

The evening is open to attend for the broader community and will feature plenty of networking opportunities, inspirational guest speakers, and many opportunities to connect and collaborate with like-minded young innovators!
