Unawarded Prizes
The Prize is not inflexible and is only bound within its overarching aim of effetively driving change in this area.
If there are no potential winners in a category in a particular year, the un-awarded amount may be shared around the other categories or ‘rolled-over’ to another year, or applications may be invited for new projects that year.
