Who can attend the award ceremony?

All of our award winners will be invited to attend the award ceremony to receive their awards and receive the recognition they deserve. Schools will be informed upon successful nominations and issued with a formal invitation letter and a set amount of tickets, dependent on the award category. School staff and students will have a designated seating area, with parents/carers able to attend and watch from another seating area.

Will there be drink refreshments available to purchase?

Yes. The Jubilee Central venue has a fully stocked Cafe Bar for drink refreshments. If you are attending our primary schools or secondary school awards ceremonies on the evening we strongly recommend ensuring all young people have eaten beforehand as the awards will not finish until 8pm

When will the shortlist be announced?

The deadline for the submission of award nominations if Friday 14th June 2024. The shortlist for each award category will be announced on Wednesday 19th June 2024, with award winners invitations issued on or before Friday 28th June.

Will nominees be made aware ahead of the event if they have won?

Only the individuals, teams and schools who have won an award will be invited to attend the ceremony. Therefore, if you receive an invitation to the awards you will have won that particular award. We recommend school staff keep this information private from the students, which often makes the awards announcement even more special for the young people.

What is the dress code for the event for staff and students?

There is no specific dress code, however, we would encourage schools to suggest wearing school unform or school PE kit. Professional photographers will be present to take photos of all winners and these often look better with uniformed students, particularly if your school will be displaying these photos back at school. Alternatively, you may decided this is a great opportunity to allow your students to socialise outside of the day to day school environment and allow them to wear what they feel comfortable in.

Can I nominate more than once within a category?

You can nominate in every category, but only one nomination is permitted per award category from a school i.e. a PE Coordinator must select their chosen nominee for a specific category and not submit multiple students within the same category. You may have different staff at school looking to nominate students and teams so please ensure there’s a discussion between school staff on who to nominate.

How are the award winners chosen and by whom?

The Awards Committee is made up of the Hull Active Schools CIC directors and company secretary, plus two external individuals from the sport network in Hull. These individuals will be announced nearer to the shortlist deadline in order to provide full transparency.

Can I attend the award ceremony if I haven’t been nominated for an award?

Schools will be issued with detailed information on who should be invited to attend each award ceremony. Due to venue capacity and the number of awards, it is highly unlikely we will have capacity to accommodate non award winners as part of the guest list.

Will tickets be provided for the event?

Yes. Tickets will be provided to schools who will have the responsibility to ensure these are distributed accordingly to students, staff and parents/carers.
