Thanks for this, really excited to see you expand! I particularly really like the new award. I think that recognition can be particularly useful for students seeking jobs or PhD positions, so it could help good students get better positions.
I’d personally like to see all good work get recognition, so I’d probably favour a plan to award everything that meets a sufficiently high standard, as opposed to just rewarding the best work.
With that said, you might well have a good reason to act differently.

I think that there are strong reasons to give awards to the ‘best work’ as well.
For example:
It will help EA research orgs with vetting
It will give ‘top performing students’ a strong reason to go for this, and for their universities to encourage it
