If you know someone in Professional Services (PS), Museum, Gallery or at the Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre, make your nomination by filling out the appropriate form below. You can submit a nomination using either an online form, or by completing the Word document version and sending it to deborah.black@manchester.ac.uk.

In addition, for the first time, you can choose to submit a video or audio recorded nomination. Details of how to do this can be found at the bottom of the either the word versions of the nomination forms.

Guidance on what to cover in your nomination can be found here.

General category of the Distinguished Achievement Awards 

The General category is to be used only on very rare occasions when the other categories of awards are not appropriate. In such cases a member or staff, a student, lay member of the Board of Governors or close affiliate of the University can be nominated. The General category is designed to recognise sustained and/or exceptional service to the University which is over and above what it normally expected of someone as part of their job, role or course.
