Applicants won’t be expected to fulfil all ten hallmarks. Applicants can also send extra information (200 words max) plus photos (if relevant). Applicants may be asked to provide additional material by the judges. Up to four schools will be shortlisted for the award. Winners win an engraved trophy, logo saying they have won an award and two free tickets to the event on November 16 at the National Motorcycle Museum, near Birmingham Airport.
