Most Supportive School Awards
To promote awareness of cybersecurity among schools, teachers and students, the “Most Supportive School Awards” will be presented to recognise schools with the most active participation. The top three schools with the highest number of participants in both the Primary and Secondary School categories will receive a trophy as Champion, 1st Runner-up and 2nd Runner-up respectively.
In the event of a tie for contest prizes for the “Most Supportive School Awards”, the subsequent rankings will be adjusted as follows: a tie for champion will designate the next-ranked school as the 2nd runner-up; a tie for 1st runner-up will eliminate the 2nd runner-up position; and a tie for 2nd runner-up will result in two schools sharing that rank and each receiving the full prize.
| Champion (1 winner) | Trophy | |
| 1st Runner-up (1 winner) | Trophy | |
| 2nd Runner-up (1 winner) | Trophy | |

One "Most Creative Award" will be presented in each category to recognise the four-panel comic that best integrates and promote cybersecurity messages.
