Judging Criteria
Standards are about making best practice into common practice. We hope that you'll take the lessons you learn from GetGreenGo™ and use them to make future school and group events more sustainable. The judging criteria look at both what the team did - and what you'll do in the future as a result.
A panel of judges from BSI, Industry experts and Government will assess each entry. Entries will be judged according to:
- The quality of the team's actions and how they measured their success
- How well the team reflected on, and learned from taking part
- How the team worked with others and shared their ideas
- How the team's work has influenced the school or groups to support sustainable events in the future.
No distinction will be made between teams that enter through the different routes described below, through another route of your own choice, or between teams that address more than one issue.
We will not judge teams on specific outcomes, for example kilogrammes of carbon saved, but on their general success in promoting and delivering a sustainable event. This ensures that the competition does not discriminate against smaller schools and groups, where absolute savings may be lower. However, a team's demonstration of how they were able to measure and calculate for example, carbon savings or food miles, can contribute to a strong entry.
