SEP is run as an island-wide competition. Schools are assessed in March or April of each year by supervisors, and if they have completed the basic elements of the programme, they go on to be judged. Regional and category prizes are awarded, as well as the overall prize of the “Most Environmentally Aware School” at a National Awards Ceremony is held each June. Transportation and food is provided for all attending schools, typically the regional winners. Schools are asked to present their work in displays outside the conference room and some schools also perform at the ceremony. In June 2009 we introduced a new incentive called the Diana McCaulay Award which is presented to champion environmental teachers who have shown a long standing commitment to environmental education.
