Societies Awards

 

It's time for the Societies Awards! If you can think of a society that's gone above and beyond this year for their members, run a particularly fantastic event or just had an amazing year then put them forward for one of the awards below!

This year's awards will be presented at the Societies Festival on Thursday 22nd June (Thurs W9) happening on central campus (more details to follow!) With 11 categories to go for, this is an amazing chance to recognise the hard work and achievements of the societies at Warwick this year. Anyone can nominate any society, so if you have someone in mind who's given it their all this year then let us know by nominating them for an award. See what the Societies Committee will be looking for in the description of each award below...

How and when can I nominate?

Nominations open on Monday the 8th May at 9am (W3) - you can just check back here and the nomination form will be available. The more detail you give in your nomination, the easier it is to recognise that society's hard work and achievements

Who decides the winners?

The Societies Committee is a group of elected students from across a wide range of societies at Warwick. The Committee will be reviewing all nominations throughout Term 3 to decide the winners of each category.

When will the awards be announced?

The awards will be announced by the lovely members of the Societies Committee at the end of the Societies Festival which will be happening on Thursday 22nd June (W9). The event will be on central campus, free to attend, and is designed to celebrate our amazing societies and the work you guys have put into creating such awesome communities this year! More info about the Societies Festival will be available through exec emails and on the SU website throughout Term 3.

This survey is no longer available.

Society of The Year

Has this society gone above and beyond? Has it held regular and engaging events throughout the term? Has the work its done been impactful on its membership? Think this society meets the criteria? Nominate them to be the SU society of the year...

Most Improved Society

Have this exec transformed and revitalized the society, adding new initiatives and having greater outreach than ever before? Have they grown membership and event attendance substantially? Then they may have a shot at winning most improved society of the year!!!

Best Society Collaboration

Has this society worked with another to run an event or campaign? Whether the impact was big or small, we want to see your nominations!

Biggest Impact

Has this society had a major impact on the lives of your fellow students or in the community? Has it had a positive impact on their student experience? If so, nominate them for the Biggest Impact award.

Most Recovered Society (Post-Covid)

The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic put a massive strain on a lot of our societies here at Warwick. Did a particular society bounce back after Covid? Did it go from a handful of members to 30+ again, or do you think they held it together and the achievement was just making it through to the other side? Whatever the story is, we want to hear it – nominate now!

Most Creative Society

This category is broader than you might think - is this society full of creators who make brilliant things like art, music, and drama? Or are they approaching academics in a brand new way? We want to hear from societies that believe they’ve been creative and unique this year; so nominate anyone you reckon thinks outside the box!

Society Campaign of the Year

We are lucky to have many societies that run important initiatives and campaigns across campus and beyond on local, national, and international stages. This is the award dedicated to recognising their importance, contribution, impact, results - anything that you feel makes the campaign something worthwhile to be a part of and support!

Recognition for Outstanding Contribution to a Society (5-10 winners)

This award is to recognise society members who have been pivotal to any aspects of a society. Perhaps they have gone above and beyond in helping organise and run events, or they have put in impeccable effort to participate in society events, campaigns, or competitions, or they have gone out of their way to welcome and take care of other members of a society. Also, there is more than one winner for this award!

Best New Society (2021 onwards)

Hey, have an ego for a moment: do you think YOUR society added something new and interesting to the community at Warwick? Perhaps you’ve just come together and created a really great and sustainable group around a shared interest. Perhaps you’ve made a splash with the events you’ve ran. If you think you’re the best new society at Warwick, and you were set up either in the academic year 2021-22 or 2022-2023, nominate yourself! Or someone else, if you're feeling modest ??

Society Exec Member of the Year

If you’ve put in the work, been an extremely welcoming face, or held your society together with duct tape and love, this award might be for you. Feel free to nominate yourself, or nominate someone you think has gone the extra mile to be the Exec Member of the Year.

Most Welcoming Society

Does this society advertise themselves as being friendly and welcoming? Have they brought in and retained members across year groups and degrees? Nominate for Most Welcoming Soc of the year!
