These are the categories and types of awards we are actively looking for nominations for. They represent our Hallam Values and Our Role in the Region and beyond. We are looking to recognise and reward individuals, and groups, around the impact and inspiration they have had on those around them. Whether they have inspired you directly, or know they have inspired others, please nominate them for an award.
If you don’t see a category which neatly aligns to what the person did, please nominate them under the ‘Positive Impact’ category.
