- The grade is eximia cum laude approbatur or higher; or at least 4 if the work has been graded on a scale of 1-5.
- This is a multidisciplinary competition and the disciplines are not limited in advance. The work should however employ one of the following global development research frameworks: development studies, developing country research, international development, or Global South research.
