All students with an original idea which has value for the community were welcome to apply. There is a special category for professional and academic master students.

The nominees will continue to the LC Awards show which will take place on 12^th of June at the Leeuwarder Courant. A jury will choose the best project and the winner gets a statuette, a prize of €333,33 and is invited to speak at the TEDx in October.
