Terms and conditions

Please read the guidance for applicants carefully before submitting an application.

The ABCs is an awards scheme, not a grants scheme. It celebrates the success of projects that are already up and running or have run in the last two years. It does not provide grants to set up new initiatives or fund running costs of existing projects.

Please note that the 2008 and 2009 winners cannot reapply for the 2010 awards.

All applications should be submitted using the online form. If you are unable to use this form for any reason, please call the ABCs team on 024 7679 5768 to make alternative arrangements.

The deadline for receipt of all applications is 5pm on Monday 13 September 2010. We cannot accept late applications.

We will contact all applicants to inform them whether or not their project has been shortlisted by the end of October 2010. Unfortunately we can not provide feedback about projects that are not shortlisted.

The decision of the judges is final.

We cannot be held responsible for lost applications or loss of data during the application process. You are advised to keep a copy of any information you provide.
