Nomination and Entry Process

The process is quick and easy: simply submit a nomination today for a colleague or peer in the sector.

To nominate, all you need to do is complete the nomination form and select the categories that are relevant to your nominee. 

Please note: a nomination is not an entry. Once the initial nomination process has closed, all nominees will be invited to submit an entry into the award categories they have been nominated for. 

Nominations Close on Friday 9 January.

Nominees can enter a different category if they wish to. The entry form will ask for further detail and ask statement like questions tailored to the awards category.
