Educator Awards 2023

Celebrating the passion, ingenuity and dedication of Activate educators

Welcome!

2023 has been another record year for Future Anything’s Activate program with over 5000 students and 200 teachers in more than 60 schools across Australia bending the future, one youth-led idea at a time.

While the 2023 National Finals will showcase innovative, scalable, and sustainable student enterprise ideas, they will also celebrate YOU, our Activate educators. In the third Future Anything Educator Awards, we’ll recognise the teachers who’ve not only led Activate in their classroom but who have lived it through their own enterprising approach to teaching and learning.

Unveiled at the high profile Future Anything National Grand Final in Brisbane in November 2023, winners will share in over $10,000 of prizes to support their schools’ entrepreneurial aspirations.

Whether you’d like to shine a light on your own entrepreneurial approach, celebrate the expertise of an outstanding colleague, or showcase the best in creativity, collaboration and teamwork, now’s your chance. Nominating is quick and easy! Read about the 2021 winners and 2022 winners.
