Students’ Union career staff, including Presidents, cannot be shortlisted for awards, however student staff can be.
If you would like to submit a nomination to celebrate the work of any of these people, your nomination will be passed on to that member of staff and the SU SLT, but it will not be included in the list for consideration of an award.

 

When the panel shortlist, all nominations will be anonymised, so we won’t know who has submitted a nomination. We will also redact the nominee’s name to ensure as fair a process as possible.

The names of our shortlisted nominees will be announced April 25th at 9am when voting goes live! All nominees will also recieve an email to let them know a few weeks before.

The awards night will be on Friday 10th May 2024, at 7pm in A Listers at Aurora. We will invite all those who are shortlisted, and each nominee also gets a plus one. Tickets are free for all attendees!

A panel of 5 UOS students and one non-voting chair will make up the panel. Voting will be open to all UOS students through an online portal.

Voting will open April 25th at 9am, you can vote through our voting link here voting link here: !

Due to the financial pressures we have all felt during the cost of living crisis, your SU felt that the money usually put into throwing a Summer Ball would be better spent making more smaller events throughout the year that students can access free of charge.

It also didn't feel right charging students high ticket prices, when the feedback we've had this year has been focussed on students having to cut back on essentials in order to continue their studies, so instead we are celebrating the end of the year in style with the awards ceremony, which has been sponsored by local businesses, to ensure that every student who is shortlisted and their plus one can attend for free.
