Nominations will close on Tuesday 22 July
Thank you for considering making a nomination for one of the many unsung heroes and teams working across the UK’s justice sector. We appreciate the time and effort that goes into submitting an award nomination, which is why we have tried to make the process as simple as possible.
Anyone can submit a nomination for any of our categories, whether it be from a colleague, supervisor, manager, family, partner, friend, or member of the public.
After the nomination period closes on Tuesday 22 July, all the submissions will be judged by a panel of industry experts. The shortlisted finalists will be notified of their success and invited to attend the awards ceremony on Thursday 25 September at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London.
Please submit your nomination using the form below.
You will be required to enter your details and the details of your nominee(s). You will then need to answer three questions about your nominee(s) so that we gather all the information we need.
You can save your nomination and complete it later, but remember to submit your final nomination no later than the closing date of Tuesday 22 July.
We have provided guidance to help you with the nomination process below in the form. If you need further support submitting your nomination, please get in touch with us.

Choose the most appropriate category for your nomination. Read the award criteria carefully before selecting the category for your nomination.
Give yourself enough time to write the nomination. Don’t leave it to the last minute so you have time to review and check it includes everything you want it to.
State clearly, at the start of your nomination, why your nominee deserves to win. Your nomination will benefit if you can reiterate this at the end as well.
Don’t assume the reader is an expert in your nominee’s area of work. Spell out or explain any technical terms and don’t use jargon.
Write in full sentences where possible. Only use bullet points in instances where they can convey the information more effectively than full sentences.
Remember, it’s not the quantity of the nomination that matters. It’s the quality, depth of explanation, and clear description of relevant examples of their work.
Avoid generalities such as “they work hard, they are always smiling, they go above and beyond”. Provide us with specific, detailed evidence to back up your reason for nominating them.
It’s a team effort! Share the nomination around and get the input of colleagues and leadership to support your claims.
Spellcheck and proof read your nomination thoroughly before submitting. Top tip: get someone else to read your nomination before you submit it.
