If you have any questions on the eligibility of your entry, please email david.suter@timeshighereducation.com to discuss your options.
Can we enter more than one category?
Yes, you may enter as many categories as you wish, but you must complete a different submission for each category.
Can we enter the same submission in more than one category?
No, please choose the most appropriate category for each entry. If you are unsure which category to choose, please contact david.suter@timeshighereducation.com to discuss your options.
Can an institution enter more than one project or team in a single category?
Where the criteria are not asking for an institution-wide approach, a single institution may submit up to five entries per category, but those featured projects or initiatives must be distinctive and unrelated. Otherwise, we advise you to combine the best elements of each in a stronger single entry, highlighting the breadth of your approach in the relevant area.
How will I know that my entry has been safely received?
Once you have submitted your entry you will receive an email confirming that it has been received. Attached to the email will be a copy of your submission, and a document containing a unique Nomination code that we will quote in future awards correspondence relating to your entry, so please keep this safe and accessible.

When will I find out if we have been shortlisted?
We will notify shortlisted institutions by email on Tuesday 14 January 2025 Tuesday 21 January 2025, the same day that the full set of shortlists are officially published on this website and the THE news website.
If we are not shortlisted, can we get feedback on our entry?
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of entries, we are not able to give feedback on individual entries.
It is worth emphasising that, because of the high number of entries, many excellent ones do not make our shortlists, which is why we encourage those entrants to submit an updated version the following year, if the featured work continued into the new period of focus.
When are the winners announced?
The THE Awards Asia ceremony will be held in Macau on Tuesday 22 April 2025 , the first night of the THE Asia Universities Summit.
We will provide more details about ceremony participation, tickets and accommodation offers once the shortlist has been published.
