The Game Changer Awards is a one-off ceremony to recognise and celebrate the many contributions that staff and students in colleges and universities are making to ensure that the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games is a fantastic success and will deliver an enduring legacy for Scotland’s people.
In addition to the criteria specific to each award, the judges will be looking for evidence that clearly demonstrates a commitment to and/or delivery of the legacy goals and underpinning principles of the Glasgow 2014 Games for every award category. The four legacy goals are:
- Active
- Connected
- Flourishing
- Sustainable.
The five principles that underpin each legacy goal are: enabling diversity; ensuring equality; enhancing partnerships; encouraging community engagement; and embedding sustainability. Further information on these can be found on the Glasgow 2014 website and Scottish Government website.
Colleges Scotland has put together an information sheet for colleges with examples of award-winning projects that institutions undertook during the London 2012 Olympics.
You can view/download the What Makes a Winning Entry information sheet from the Colleges Scotland website.
The deadline for entries is Friday 31 January 2014.
Please email Frances Harrower or phone 01786 892035 if you have any queries about the Game Changer Awards.
