► How it works

To nominate someone for an award, you simply have to fill in our online nomination form and provide a brief (no more than 300 words) supporting statement to back up your nomination.

We are looking for quality over quantity of nominations, so make sure you take time to think carefully about why this person deserves the award and explain this in the nomination form.

Any student can nominate as many lecturers as they wish.
