Additional information:

Nominations may be made by any UEA student or staff member, including but not limited to: club committee members, activators, members of the Student Sport Exec and UEA’s Physical Education & Sport Department. Where possible, please ensure your club only submits one nomination per category. The winners are chosen based on the quality of the nomination, not the quantity of nominations received, i.e. if we receive a club of the year nomination from every single member of your club, another club who only submitted one excellent nomination could still win the award over you.

Please note all achievements should have taken place between June 2021 and March 2022 (i.e. you may submit nominations for events that took place last academic year after the nominations for the 2021 Sports Awards had closed).

All nominations will be assessed by a judging panel consisting of a combination of the following staff: Student Performance Sport Manager, Student Sport Operations Manager, Student Sport & Physical Activity Development Coordinators, Student Sport Administrators, Head of Student Opportunities, and the Activities and Opportunities Officer.

Nominations for all awards will open on Friday 4th March at 2pm and will close on Sunday 27th March at 11:59pm. Any nominations submitted after this date will not be considered.
