You can shine a spotlight on a colleague or team who makes UNSW a great place to work.

The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards provide the opportunity to celebrate not only what people do but how they do it through active demonstration of our UNSW Values in Action and UNSW Leadership Signatures. By recognising our colleagues’ contributions, we can celebrate the stories that further shape our culture and drive our strategy to achieve Progress for All.

Nominate an individual or team before Monday 7 July 

To learn more about the awards and nominate a colleague or team, visit the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards site and nominate an individual or team before Monday 7 July Review the FAQs for help with the nomination process and access the resource hub to support and promote the awards across your division or faculty.  

When you consider who to nominate, cast your thoughts far and wide. It could be the quiet achievers behind the scenes, the team-players, the curious listeners, the change makers and innovators or the role models for self, task, project or people leadership who make work a better place every day. This is your chance to let them know how their work and what they do matters. 

People’s Choice Award voting opens Monday 28 July 

Nominees will also go into the running for the People’s Choice category, awarded by popular vote. People’s Choice Award nominees will be showcased on the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards app where you can read about their unique contributions and submit your vote from Monday 28 July until Monday 11 August.
