Call for Nominations: Yidan Prize 2025 for Changemakers (up to HK$30 million)

Deadline: March 31, 2025

Nominations are open for the Yidan Prize 2025. The world’s highest education accolade welcomes changemakers globally to join its expert community in addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing education today.

With a mission to create a better world through education, the Yidan Prize Foundation champions ideas that are future oriented, innovative, transformative, and sustainable. Two prizes are awarded annually, the Yidan Prize for Education Research and the Yidan Prize for Education Development:

  • Yidan Prize for Education Research: The theory of learning — science, psychology, statistics — that can help educators gain a more methodical understanding of their approaches.
  • Yidan Prize for Education Development: The practice of learning — new methods, ways to make education more widespread — so we can champion techniques that work.

Award

  • Yidan Prize Laureates will receive a gold medal and a total sum of HK$30 million (US$3.8 million). Half of the amount is a cash prize, while the other half is an unrestricted project fund designed to support the laureates in scaling their work. For teams, the cash prize and project fund are shared equally

Eligibility

  • Open to everyone. You don’t need to be invited to nominate a team or individual for either the Education Research or Education Development prize. You can even nominate yourself.
  • What they are looking for are ‘credible witnesses’ to the nominees’ impact — so you need to have a thorough understanding of the work. Most of the nominators are members of government bodies, non-governmental organizations or professional associations. Or they’re professional educators, respected figures in the sector, or work in the same organization or sphere as the nominee(s).

Judging Criteria

Each nomination is reviewed against a set of rigorous criteria. These are based on the degree the nominees’ work is future-oriented, innovative, transformative, and sustainable.

Nomination

The nomination guide has everything you need to know about making a nomination. The guide is available in English, French, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish — but you’ll need to submit your nomination in English.
