CES, the evaluation and quality systems specialist charity, is inviting entries 
to its new Learning and Innovation Prize.

The award aims to recognise organisations that use monitoring information or evaluation
findings to improve their work and influence others. Entries are invited from organisations
that have made best use of the information that they have, and made changes for 
the better, whether small modifications or significant transformations to the way
that they work.

There are four award categories:
