- Click here for a helpful step by step print-out guide to your entry process.

To help those new to the Kids Helping Kids Award process, below is a quickstart guide for your information and to help navigate our exciting pages!

STEP ONE :

Browse our AWARDS pages and get inspiration from our 2010 Award Winners, view our Awards Prizes for 2011, meet our Awards Celebrity Ambassadors, and understand how participating in the Awards helps your school turn its fundraising into philanthropy!

STEP TWO:

Decide what fundraising activity your school wants to enter in the Awards.

You have two options when choosing an appeal to enter into the Kids Helping Kids Awards: 

1. SchoolAid runs several emergency appeals and campaigns each year. If your school has participated in a SchoolAid Appeal since September 2010, your school is automatically eligible to enter the Awards! We just need some details on the fundraising so our judges can read about it!

2. Alternatively, your fundraising group may choose to showcase your own fundraising appeal that supports an issue, cause or organisation of your own choice. Any worthwhile cause which improves the lives of kids in need - locally, nationally or globally - is eligible for the Awards. Only fundraising activities undertaken from September 2010 are eligible for entry into the 2011 Awards.

STEP THREE:

Check out the Awards Categories and select the category you would like to enter, otherwise we can allocate your entry to the most appropriate category and advise you of your category.

STEP FOUR:

Complete your entry form and send it to us! Simply download the entry form, complete, and return (with any supporting materials) to SchoolAid, either by post:

2011 Kids Helping Kids Awards,
PO Box 1526, North Sydney, NSW 2059  or email : admin@schoolaid.org.au 

* make sure you put "Kids Helping Kids Awards Registration" in the subject line.

Once you have completed the entry process, you will be issued with an Awards registration number by return email.  SchoolAid must receive your fully completed entry by 5pm AEST on Friday, 30 September for your entry to progress to the judging process. If entering via email, you will receive an automated response with your registration number within 24 hours. If registering by post, you will receive your registration number within 2 weeks.

Some helpful reminders:

*   Make sure you plan your dates carefully to ensure that the project is completed and the funds allocated to your cause by the closing date for the 2011 Awards.  Only fundraising activities undertaken from September 2010 onwards are eligible for entry into the 2011 Kids Helping Kids Awards Awards. Read more about our terms and conditions. *   REMEMBER….. your entry is an opportunity to share the story of your school's fundraising achievements with out wider school community.

(eg. you can provide videos, copies of Messages of Hope or any artistic / creative works created, photos of kids during the planning stages of the project, meeting notes and copies of budgets, media clippings or stories from the students themselves discussing how the activity has changed their outlook). *   We will be showcasing schools' activities and exciting news we receive regarding the progress of your Projects.  Please feel free to send us inspiring pictures and stories, and we will put these on the website to inspire other kids! *   Please note all submitted material becomes the property of SchoolAid and may be shared with our supporters or the general public via our website, media or in our ecommunications, so please ensure that you have completed release forms for the use of all images.
