How do I nominate someone?

Firstly you need a nominations form, either download one here or pick one up from the SU office.

Secondly, I highly recommend that you READ THE DEFINITION OF THE AWARD.  The Awards Committee that meets and discusses the various nominations cannot use their own personal knowledge of the candidate to supplement an application form.  This is to ensure that the Committee are as fair as possible and that those that are personally known by members of the Committee do not have an unfair advantage.  Therefore everything the Committee can use to judge eligbility for an award MUST be written on the form.  It doesn't matter how amazing the candidate is, or how nicely the form is written, if it doesn't address or evidence the requirements in the definition, they won't recieve the award! Please, READ THE DEFINITION OF THE AWARD!

 

Thirdly, send in your nomination form as an attachment (from your SGUL account) to Raymond Sacks (vpfinance@su.sgul.ac.uk) with the seconder CC'd in, or bring them to the SU office.  You MUST submit between Monday 9th May and Monday 23rd (nominations close at 9am on this date)
