This year's categories

Stranraer AcademyBest fundraising group of 10 of more members
Last year's winners Freman College raised a fantastic £3153.45 through selling fish and chips, putting on an Amnesty week and holding an Amnesty live lounge event.

Best fundraising group of 9 or fewer members
Tonbridge Grammar School won this category and raised £2,115.10 from putting on a disco for Years 7 & 8 as well as a pantomime. It just goes to show even without a big group you can make big money!

Best primary school fundraisers
We didn't have any entrants for this category last year, so register your primary school today to take away the prize this year. For more info on fundraising in your primary school check out our primary school resources.

Best fundraising event
We want to hear all about your wonderful events, big and small. Last year, fashion shows, quizzes, swimming competitions, AmnesTea parties, non-uniform days, gigs and more were held in support of Amnesty International. Last year's winners Stranraer Academy held a Rock for Rights gig and raised a fantastic £850, but this category isn't all about the money - it's about the most creative and engaging events.

Most regular fundraisers
This category is for the groups who show consistent commitment to raising money and awareness for Amnesty. Last year's winners Ashford School organised 11 events including a cake sale, talent shows and a collection of 50p pieces for our 50th birthday.
