Stage 2 requires all finalists to present to our judges at a virtual meeting on Tuesday 23rd and/or Wednesday 24th April. If you are shortlisted in multiple categories you may be required to present on both days. Presentations should complement your written submission, be evidence-based and include an overview of what you do and how you do it, with clear examples of where you have excelled and gone the extra mile. Additional information regarding date, time slot and expected content will be emailed to each finalist once the schedule has been confirmed – usually a week or so after the official announcement.

Yes, the judges will have access to all the details you submitted online (excluding contact details) and will consider the quality of your original written submission alongside your online presentation.

Judges will be announced on the awards website once the full panel is confirmed.
