II. Students are granted the "Hrvoje Požar" Annual Award, in the form of a charter and a monetary amount for the following categories:

• for notable success in their studies so far for students studying energy and energy studies in the final year of undergraduate and graduate university studies and
• for a particularly notable graduate thesis in the field of energy to students who graduated between the last two HED competitions.

The proposal for granting the "Hrvoje Požar" Annual Award to the best students of energy studies and energy orientation, for an individual student, can be submitted by scientific and teaching organizations, university teachers and students themselves with the recommendation of a university teacher.

Along with the proposal for granting the "Hrvoje Požar" Annual Award for notable success in studies so far, it is necessary to attach documentation on:

• enrollment in completed years of undergraduate and/or graduate university studies in the field of energy or energy orientation,
• transcript of grades.

Along with the proposal for granting the "Hrvoje Požar" Annual Award for a particularly noteworthy graduate thesis in the field of energy, the following documents must be attached:

• a certified copy of the diploma on completed graduate studies,
• graduate thesis in the field of energy, to be submitted in electronic form,
• transcript of grades.

Proposals are submitted in writing, with explanations and attached evidence. Students are awarded one (1) "Hrvoje Požar" Annual Award from point II. of this Competition.

III. Students who want to compete for the "Hrvoje Požar" Annual Award from point II. of this Competition are required to fill out a questionnaire that can be downloaded from the HED website: www.hed.hr/foundation/
