Each year the WISE Awards recognize and promotes six projects that address global educational challenges. A pre-jury composed of education experts assesses submissions and selects a shortlist of fifteen finalists. Following this, a jury chooses the six award winning projects. Winners receive a cash prize of $20,000. The first WISE Awards were handed out in 2009.
