The awards celebrate excellence in engagement by recognising those who build relationships which lead to partnerships which lead to mutually beneficial outcomes for both CQUniversity and its partner. These partnerships support the development of sustainable communities and an equally sustainable CQUniversity.

There are three categories for these awards which are:

 Engaged Learning and Teaching;

Engaged Research and Innovation; and

Engaged Service.
