Nomination process judging and process

  1. Each category will be adjudicated by a sub-panel comprised of a mix of cross-campus staff and students (including FXPlus representation).
  2. Each sub-panel will recommend a shortlist to a super panel, which will make the final decisions.
  3. A shortlist of candidates will be publicised, and where applicable a public vote will commence.
  4. Results are announced on Friday 28 June at a gala dinner.
  5. The winners for the David Allen Hero Award will be selected by a staff and student vote from a shortlist of nominations.

If you wish to volunteer to serve on a category panel, please contact PSRA@exeter.ac.uk

Guidelines for nominators

Nominations are more likely to be successful if:

  1. Your nomination stands out - why does the individual or team deserve the award?
  2. You don't assume prior knowledge -  set the scene and explain what action the individual or team took.
  3. You clearly explain what difference the nominee's actions made, and what impact this has had.
  4. Nominations are clear and robust - avoid short or vague nominations (eg, 'Joe Smith is great because he worked very hard on this project').
  5. A high quantity of nominations will not necessarily be an advantage as judges will be looking for quality too.
