Best Summative Assessment Project
The e-Assessment Awards seek to showcase excellence in technology-enabled assessment. The independent judging panel for the Best Summative Assessment Project will select the finalists from all the entries , based solely on the information provided in the application form. Please do read through the scope and criteria carefully.

Scope
This award seeks to acknowledge an assessment project or solution which brings clearly identifiable benefits to summative assessment in a specific field(s). Whilst we do accept entries from companies producing e-assessment solutions, we expect every entry to focus on a specific case study or project and recommend that an entry is submitted in collaboration with an end-user.
To clarify, applications for this award need not be made by a supplier, but supplier-led nominations will be considered with equal merit. Each application must include details of at least one case study, which showcases use within a specific institution.
There are no restrictions on the nature of summative assessment solutions which can be entered for this category, beyond the requirement that they must already be in use. This award covers both assessments and assessment systems for any age range, which can focus on any subject matter, covering both academic and vocational subjects.
