We can now reveal who's made the shortlist for the Union Awards this year!

Earlier this semester, we asked you to nominate our amazing student volunteers from over 20 award categories to be celebrated at our Union Awards.

We wanted to hear about your great Academic Rep or Council Member who helped make positive change; a campaigner who had done something incredible or raised a lot of money for charity; a media volunteer who went the extra mile or someone who had excelled in an Inspiring Project or Social Sport.

Below you'll find the nominees shortlisted for each award. Congratulations to everyone who made the list!

The awards will be presented to our winners on Wednesday 26^th May on the Students' Union YouTube channel - we hope you join us to celebrate our incredible Students’ Union Volunteers, Clubs and Societies!
