Intended audienceProspective nominators and supporting organisations
Published24 July 2026

Strong nominations connect contribution, outcomes and category relevance.

Prospective nominators are advised to prepare supporting evidence before beginning a formal submission. Evidence helps reviewers understand what was delivered, who benefited and why the contribution deserves consideration within the selected category.

A useful evidence pack

  • A concise description of the challenge or opportunity addressed.
  • The activity, product, service or leadership contribution delivered.
  • Results expressed through credible figures, records or independently verifiable outcomes.
  • The period and location of implementation.
  • Contactable references or institutional confirmation where appropriate.

Quality matters more than volume

Supporting material should be relevant and easy to interpret. Large collections of unrelated documents can make a contribution harder to assess. Nominators should select evidence that directly supports the principal claims made in the submission.

Consent and accuracy

Before submission, confirm that the nominee is aware of the nomination and that names, organisational details, figures and supporting statements are accurate.

A credible nomination connects a clear contribution to reliable evidence and meaningful agricultural value.
