Nominees are sought in four categories. The afterschool and digital learning category is for programs that have demonstrated success with leveraging digital technology to facilitate learning experiences, enhance technical skills, and strengthen critical thinking across core subject areas. The afterschool and arts category is for programs that have demonstrated success in using the arts as means to strengthen self-confidence and self-expression, to build community, and to improve academic and skills development. The afterschool and parent involvement/engagement category is for programs that have demonstrated success in creatively engaging parents to help them become more involved in students' learning both in and outside of school. The afterschool and school improvement category is for programs that have successfully utilized school improvement grant funding to help promote positive change and improved academic outcomes in partnering schools.
The awards aim to identify potentially lesser-known yet effective programs and the individuals running them. Nominees will be judged by the innovative nature of their approach and demonstrated effectiveness.
Program staff and directors are allowed and encouraged to nominate their own program, but a nominator does not have to be officially affiliated with a program to nominate it. Each of the five award winners will receive $10,000 for their program.
Winners will receive additional support (up to $1,500, plus media outreach assistance) to hold a Lights On Afterschool event on October 18, 2012, to announce the award. Additionally, awardees and other notable nominees will be recognized in nationally released issue briefs and the alliance's Afterschool in Action Compendium.
