Union Awards FAQs

What are Union Awards?

The Union Awards is our annual ceremony to celebrate student volunteering, accomplishments, and recognise the hard work of students, staff, clubs, societies, and course reps!

Why should you nominate someone?

Nominating someone is a great way to recognise their efforts and hard work in a particular area.

How do you nominate someone?

You can nominate them through the form linked above! Make sure you read the criteria and write your submission based on said criteria. Simply putting “Jane is the best lecturer” won’t help Jane win “Lecturer of the Year”, even if she has been amazing; we need evidence. The full criteria can be found listed on the nomination form.

How long do you have to nominate?

You can nominate from Thursday 17 April to Thursday 1 May (12PM)

What happens when someone is nominated?

Submissions are reviewed and finalists are decided by a judging panel of sabbatical officers and Union staff.
