To be eligible for the eLearning Awards, entries must be submitted by schools or teachers in EU Member States, EEA Countries, EU Applicant Countries as well as Switzerland and Israel.

The aim of the competition is to promote the use of ICT in education and to encourage schools to collaborate. A gallery will showcase on the eLearning Portal contributions from all around Europe.

Contributions will be awarded in several categories highlighting best practice in the use of ICT in the area of: School of the future, The e-safe school, Promoting digital literacy, Creativity (arts), Foreign languages, Sustainability (environment), Maths, science and technology, Social networking for collaborative learning (eTwinning) (detailed list available on the eLearning Awards portal).

As in previous years these entries will be judged by a panel of experts and the winners will be announced in December at the annual EMINENT Conference in Brussels.

Also on the portal are links to previous editions of the eLearning Awards, dating back 2002.

Entries can be made from now until 11 November 2007 directly through the website http://elearningawards.eun.org.
