About FP Awards

Leading by example is the best way to ignite someone’s passion for positive change. That’s why we put the spotlight on outstanding students who demonstrate how technology enables them to make a positive impact.

Who is it for?

The awards are open to all young people 15-26 years old inclusive.

Eligible projects

We have just three criteria for the projects:

  1. It is created, led, and, for the most part, done by students. External suppliers are OK.

  2. It uses technologies for a good cause, contributing to some of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

  3. A working prototype or proof-of-concept is needed to demonstrate the project’s idea. A concept paper or presentation is not enough.

That’s all! And yes, you may participate in multiple teams and with multiple projects.

  • How well the project leverages technology for good
