- 2026 nominations are open from Monday 13 July until Sunday 16 August (midnight).
- Student nominators will be required to write a short statement explaining how and why the educator deserves an award. The winner will be judged on the content of that statement, with an emphasis on teachers who inspire, motivate, and change a student's worldview, self-image or aspirations.
- Nominations will be de-identified and judged by a panel of students who will choose the final five winners. To give your nomination the best chance of winning include details and examples to illustrate the impact this teacher has on their students.
- You may nominate teaching staff (lecturers, tutors, demonstrators etc.) or professional staff (e.g. student services, careers, counselling etc.).
- You may nominate someone you have encountered at any point in your time at UNSW (does not have to be this term).
- Winners will be announced at the UNSW Education Festival.
