Obligations on winners

The only obligations if you win an award are:

• to spend the funding on the project set out in your application
• to write a letter to Shell at an agreed time, describing what you have achieved (or challenges to achieving your goals – which are just as important!)
• to provide material for this website and other publicity
• to participate in a judging panel next year (if requested)
