The competition is open to any dissertations produced during the 2024/2025 academic year by students enrolled on an undergraduate degree programme at a UK university.

Submissions are open to all UK geography departments as well as interdisciplinary degree programmes where the student has engaged with the geographies of children, youth and families literature.
