Projects compete in six categories:
The jury determines which of the submitted projects will be nominated for the award and which project will win.
There is also a new prize for the nominated projects: the Future Prize. For this, students vote for the project that appeals to them the most. This prize is awarded once, so not by category. It is possible for a project to win both the Future Prize and the prize for its category, but the Future Prize may also go to a nominated project that the jury does not choose as the winner.
