How to nominate

Nominations open Wednesday 2 September and will close Wednesday 14 October. Nominations submitted before this date will not be accepted. 

1. Check the award criteria

Before you start your nomination, read the criteria for each award category.

All nominations will be shortlisted based on these criteria, so try to keep this in mind when you are completing your form. Please remember the more examples that you include the more chance your nomination form has of being shortlisted.

You'll also need to check who you can nominate to make sure that the person or team you would like to nominate can take part.

2. Complete the online nomination form

The nomination form has a character limit and the questions are based around the criteria for judging to help you to follow them as closely as possible.

We recommend writing your nomination in a Word document first and then copy and paste it into the online form. This will allow you to check your word count and save a copy in case of any technical issues.
