Our read on this award
3 figures we worked out, not the sponsor's. Free, and it takes an email address.
How these are worked out
- How narrow the field is.Read from where the sponsor restricts it. An award open to one high school is competing against a graduating class.
- Conditions to meet.More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
- Where it sits.Ranked against every other award we hold, narrowest field and best value for the effort first.
- None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.
