The Award categories are as follows:

• The Innovation Award (€20,000): recognises a project that integrates innovative approaches based on sound principles of prevention that shows promise for achieving successful prevention outcomes.
• The "Big Idea" Youth Initiative Award (€10,000): for a youth or group of young people that proposes a new and innovative prevention initiative that could be undertaken and evaluated.
(The €10,000 will be awarded to be used towards implementing the initiative.)
