How to nominate
Making a nomination is easy. You can nominate yourself, a former classmate, or any Herts graduate in your network by simply completing the nomination form with details about you and your nominee, your reason for the nomination, and any links to supporting evidence such as a news story.
Please note that nominations will close on Friday 24 January 2025 at 11.00 UK time and all nominations need to follow the eligibility criteria to be successful.
How to write a winning nomination
Here are some top tips to make your nomination stand out:
- Give yourself enough time to write the nomination. Once the nomination time closes at 11.00 UK time on Friday 24 January 2025 no further nominations can be made.
- Choose the most appropriate category for your nomination by reading the criteria carefully before selecting the category for your nomination.
- Be concise. Clearly state at the beginning of your nomination why you think your nominee deserves to win.
- Back-up your reasons of why your nominee deserves to win by providing examples of the work they do. Our judges want to know how they are making an impact in industry and/or society.
- If you can, provide up to three links to online articles, news stories, a company website or publication as supporting evidence of their work.
- Take a look at our winners from 2024 for inspiration!
- Submit your nomination just once and in one category only. Submitting the same nomination multiple times will not improve your nominees' chances of winning as only one nomination form for each graduate you nominate will be put forward for shortlisting.
