     Selecting the Award Winners
     
     Following a global call for project, a Pre-Jury composed of education experts assesses the submissions to select the Finalists. Following this, a Jury bringing together leading personalities from the education world chooses the six Award winning projects. Winners receive global visibility along with a prize of $20,000 (US) and are celebrated at the annual WISE Summit Gala Dinner.
     
     The WISE Awards run in parallel with the other WISE Programs such as the WISE Prize for Education.
