This year, we're extending the deadline on our Mission Possible awards to give extra time to celebrate new positive mental health ideas after school closures to prevent against coronavirus.
Applications for our Mission Possible school achievement awards are open now until Friday, 8 May 2020.
To give extra time for these kinds of ideas to be celebrated in the competition, we've pushed the deadline for entry back.
There are three new categories to choose from, showcasing:
- the Best Standalone Project,
- the Best Programme Activity
- and the Most Creative Idea
undertaken by schools to tackle stigma or share positive messages around mental health. Each category will have a primary and secondary school winner.
The six winning schools across all three categories will receive a prize of €600 each, while every school taking part will receive a framed certificate.
Applications stay open until 5pm on Friday, 8 May, with shortlisted schools being notified later that month. We'll be taking a creative approach to our awards this year, to prevent against the spread of coronavirus: instead of hosting our usual awards ceremony, watch out for a new online experience to celebrate our winning schools. We’ll be announcing details of this in the coming weeks.
In another exciting development for our 2020 awards, schools can now apply through our School Portal for the first time.
