Method of nomination

To enter, please go to the online Nomination Form and follow the instructions to complete the relevant online nomination form. There is no limit on the number of nominations you may submit.

Nominations that are incomplete or indecipherable may, at our entire discretion, not be valid and may therefore be deemed void. Use of false or misleading information in the Nomination Form will result in your nomination being invalidated.

Nominations open on 6 February 2024 at 19:00 GMT and close on 31 March 2024 at 23:59 BST.

Eligibility

In order to nominate yourself, your team, another team/ organisation, or someone else, you must be a UK resident (including Channel Islands and Isle of Man), and not be: (a) an employee of us or our affiliated companies; (b) an employee of agents or suppliers of us or our holding company or subsidiary companies, who are professionally connected with the Awards or its administration; and (c) the members of the immediate families or households of (a) or (b).

You may nominate yourself or someone else, but it is your responsibility to obtain permission from the person you are nominating before submitting a nomination on their behalf. This includes obtaining their permission to include ancillary documents such as photographs of the nominee as part of your nomination form.

If you are under 18 years of age, you must have the permission of your parent or guardian to submit a nomination on behalf of yourself or someone else and, if requested by us, you must provide the name and telephone number of your parent or guardian.

If you are nominating someone else who is under the age of 18 on the date the nomination is made, then you must obtain consent from their parent or guardian before you nominate them and, if requested by us, you must provide the name and telephone number of their parent or guardian.

We reserve the right to contact the relevant parent or guardian to check the required consents and to exclude any nominations for which the requisite consent has not been given.

If you are nominating someone else for an award then it is your responsibility to make the nominee and/ or their parent or legal guardian aware of these Nomination Terms and our Privacy Policy. It is also your responsibility to inform the nominee that they may be required to participate in filming, broadcast and publicity related to the Awards if they are chosen as a winner.

If you are nominating a team or organisation, and providing us with generic organisational contact details (i.e. no personal details) on behalf of the team/ organisation, then you do not need to inform the organisation that you are nominating them, nor make them aware of the terms as described above. However, if you are singling out an individual for us to contact at this organisation, then please follow the rules for nominating an individual as described above.

Our team may contact the nominator, the nominees (and their parent/ guardian, where applicable) to verify facts and/ or events and whether the relevant consents/ permissions have been obtained and, by making a nomination, you acknowledge and agree to this. We do not represent, undertake or warrant that we will contact all nominators or nominees.

We reserve the right (without obligation) to carry out verification checks on the proposed winners of each category. Nominees must let us know if they or a Nominee have been convicted of a crime, if either they or their Nominee are the subject of ongoing criminal proceedings or investigations, if they or their Nominee have any County Court Judgements against them, or of any other matter that might cause disrepute to us or Jamie Oliver, the Promoter and/ or its affiliates.

Further details of the categories and applicable nomination criteria are set out in the Nomination Form.

Nominee selection process

All valid nominations received by the closing date and time will be considered.

20 nominees will be shortlisted by a panel of judges, based on the best stories and examples which best demonstrate excellence and dedication in the relevant nomination category. The 20 shortlisted nominees selected at this stage will proceed to the next judging stage.

3 nominees will be shortlisted during the second judging stage by a panel of judges who are experts in their field and who are independent from us. The 3 shortlisted nominees selected at this stage will proceed to the next judging stage.

At the third and final stage, a panel of celebrity judges will choose the winner of each category. One winner will be selected for each category and there will therefore be 8 winners in total.

For further information, please refer to the Nomination Form for information on the specific categories and the applicable judging criteria for each category.

Judging of nominations will take place between 31 March 2024 and 30 May 2024 and Nominees must be available to be contacted between 31 March 2024 and 21 July 2024.
