Societies Awards

The Societies Committee judge and decide upon the winners of each of these awards at the end of each academic year. Societies apply for these awards by writing a statement; the Societies Committee will then prepare a shortlist of societies to interview for each award.

The exact details and the size of the prize fund will be decided by the Societies Committee around Easter-time and all societies will be sent full details nearer the time.

If your society is shortlisted for an award then members of your society’s committee will be invited to the Societies Award Ceremony where the winners will be announced and presented with their prizes (amid lots of food and wine).
