Who selects the winners?

Award and Medal winners for each award category are conferred by selection panels overseen by the Vice-Provost (Research) in the summer term.

Can I nominate someone who has already won a President's Award?

Previous winners Previous winners may not be re-nominated for the same category of award until at least three years have passed since their previous success (i.e. winners of 2019, 2020 and 2021 cannot be re-nominated for the same award in 2022). Find the full list of previous winners on the previous award winners webpage.

What information do I need to prepare a nomination?

Individual guidance documents for each award category are below. Please check the eligibility requirements and the evidence required by each award category.

Top tips

  • A single nomination form should be completed for each nominee. It is strongly recommended to notify the nominee of the intention to propose them for this award.
  • Review the guidance in advance to prepare appropriate evidence for the criteria in the nomination. 
  • A nomination overview summarising key points of the reasons for nomination should be completed.
  • Evidence should be provided for each of the award criteria (this should be written for a non-expert audience and specific examples given where appropriate).
  • The selection panel will ONLY draw on the evidence presented when making their decisions, so please ensure a good case is presented for submission.
  • Statements of support should emphasise what makes the nominee stand out and the impact of their actions/research.
  • There is a 4000 character (approx 300 word) limit for each free text section. Ensure plain text is used if copy-pasting to avoid breaching character limits.
