Overview

The scheme provides much needed funding, with each Digital Hero awarded £5,000 and the overall Digital Hero, as selected by our panel of judges, receiving £10,000. The Digital Heroes will be recognised at a ceremony at the House of Commons in London where their great work will be showcased to politicians and other key influencers in the world of technology.

The awards are made up of ten themed categories to find the most inspirational and creative individuals using technology for good, including for the first time, a new category for Internet Safety, in partnership with online safety organisation Internet Matters.

The nation’s Next Generation Digital Hero remains a special category, recognising a young person who stands to win £4,000 for their chosen charity and an Apple MacBook Air.

The other eight categories include Employment, Healthy Living, Silver Surfer, Skills, Volunteer, Fundraising, Education and Sustainability.

The ten category winners are selected by a public vote. The overall winner for the Awards is selected by their expert panel of judges.
