We are excited to announce the opening of our FY23 Society Awards Programme, where the best ideas and activities that have taken place during 1 March 2022 to the present, are recognized.
Ensure the outstanding achievements, support and dedicated of your society and volunteers are recognized by submitting your application starting Wednesday, 1 March ending Monday, 24 April 2023 at noon ET. Please note that due to launching later in the year, there will be no deadline extensions.
FY23 PROGRAMME CHANGE: Please note the programme change eliminates one round of the application process. Your initial nomination will be judged as your final one and has a 700-word limit. Keep your category scoring rubric handy when filling out your nomination as your responses should be tied directly to the scoring rubric.
These responses will be evaluated by a panel of judges per the scoring rubric and any limitation presented by the pandemic will be taken into consideration when evaluating and comparing initiatives if need be.
Please note the following timeline for 2023 Society Awards Programme milestones:
- 19 April 2023: Nominations deadline
- 30 August 2023: Winners and non-finalists notification
- Regional SLCs: Public announcement of winners
- October/November 2023: Winner article features in Connexions
