Nomination GuidelinesThe Awards follow a 2-stage judging process, whereby initial nominations are invited but with a limited word count. These are reviewed and sifted against agreed criteria, with the strongest nominations invited to submit a more detailed application at Stage 2.

Stage 1o In no more than 1,000 words briefly explain how the nominee has met and/or

exceeded category criteria.

o Each category has specific criteria, which can be downloaded on the Nominations page but all share the following general criteria:

Significance to the sector: Broader significance to the sector, for example originality, pathfinder status or facilitated enhanced public safety.

Transferability: An approach that can be readily replicated or addresses emerging challenges and opportunities and therefore has potential wider benefits if adopted elsewhere; and conversely, the effective use of practices learned or adopted from sectors outside public safety.

Evidence: The quality and reliability of evidence supporting the claims being made, for example the qualitative and/or quantitative evidence of benefits and outcomes.

Unusual features: Features which make the nomination ‘stand out from the crowd’, for example extraordinary commitment and impact of an individual or team.

o Outline the people involved, timescales, challenges and opportunities.

o Demonstrate the impact of any initiative, activity, project or measures taken.

o Demonstrate how the nominee(s) exceeds industry norms, i.e. nominations need to show performance above and beyond standard practice.

o If relevant, explain any KPI's that are relevant to your application and any relevant costs/resources, inputs/outputs.   

o Stage 1 nominations are to be submitted directly to awards@ bapco.org.uk using the nomination form and should be accompanied by a supporting statement of no longer than 1,000 words, outlining how the nominee meets the criteria for the award.

o The deadline for the submission of Stage 1 nominations is Friday 21 February at 5pm.
