The SU Awards 2025 – Nominations and Voting now open!
The SU Awards recognise and celebrate those students who contribute so much of their time, energy and expertise to improving the student experience at UU and contributing in a positive way to the campus community.
If you know a student who has had a positive impact on the student experience, we invite you to consider them for an SU award.
This year's awards boast 10 categories. In 3 of those categories, you'll cast your vote for a society or student who have qualified for our longlist. In the other 7 categories, you can nominate whomever you please!
A panel of UUSU judges will choose the finalists and winners from all the information made available.
All students /groups who qualify for a category longlist or receive a nomination will be personally notified to acknowledge this recognition. Finalists will be invited to our celebratory event where award winners will be announced.
