To achieve a Silver Award, students complete a long-term, in-depth project which is self-directed. Students choose the topic and type of project they want to run. 

• Typically suitable for ages 14+, but can be done at any age.
• 30 hours of work
• No set format for the project work; here are the eligible types of CREST projects. Or try a project from the resource library.
• Projects are assessed by CREST experts and 11 of the 15 CREST criteria must be met to be awarded.
• £15 (including VAT) per student in the UK, £25 internationally. 

Students can submit individually or in a group of up to 15 for group projects. Each student must complete and upload one CREST profile form for every group member. 

Students may benefit from a mentor but is not required. Access support on How can I get a mentor for my CREST Award?
