Ts and Cs
You may submit only one nomination per award. However, we understand that the work of some may cover two award areas and therefore we are not limiting people to only one application for an individual or organisation. This means that you could put forward the same individual for two separate awards, though you will need to explain in detail, how they meet the justification for those awards.
When submitting multiple nominations, a separate nomination application must be completed for each one. Please ensure you demonstrate how the person or organisation meets the criteria for the award in question on each application. It is important not to ‘cut and paste’ applications. Where we think this has been the case, we reserve the right to reject applications.
When filling out your nomination, you confirm that you will remain impartial and factual and where you are expressing opinions or recollections, you must make this clear. We require tangible evidence, in documents or online url links which show why you think that an individual meets the criteria for an award.
There is no cost to submit a nomination.
No responsibility is accepted by ‘The No2H8 Crime Awards’ for entries lost, delayed, misdirected, incomplete or which cannot be entered for any technical or other reason. Proof of delivery of entry is not proof of receipt.
Under no circumstances is it acceptable to vote for yourself or your company.
Nominations will be kept anonymous; but not considered confidential so you may choose to share this publicly if you have nominated someone. This is at your discretion.
No information you provide in your nomination will be shared or used – other than for purposes related to the awards ceremony.
Applications that do not complete all of the relevant sections will not be submitted for assessment. Furthermore, applications made for individuals or organisations who have a history of extremism or divisiveness will not be put forward for assessment.
The No2H8 Awards reserve the right to carry out due diligence work by use of open source information, on those being nominated, whether they be individuals or organisations. Nominated individuals or organisations which may bring the work of the No2H8 Awards into potential disrepute, will not be progressed for assessment.
The values of the No2H8 Awards are based on supporting pluralism, tolerance and diversity and individuals or organisations who go against these principles, will be removed from the process. The final decision rests with the No2H8 Awards.
The 2025 No2H8 Crime Awards are being held in November. The No2H8 Crime awards may alter an event details as required, such as but not limited to date, times and location. Please note that there is heavy security at the event so attendees must bring a form of pictorial ID.
Applicants who make nominations will not be informed of the outcome of their application, apart from the list of nominees which will be published on the www.no2h8crimeawards.org web-site. A final list of the winners for each award will be published within 24 hours of the Awards evening in November 2025.
Once our project team has assessed your nomination, your nominee will only be informed if they have been shortlisted. Nominations that have not been shortlisted for a category will not be notified.
The No2H8 Awards also reserve the right to reject applications which do not emanate from the United Kingdom. Applicants and their nominees should be based within the United Kingdom when the application is made.”
Applications will all go through two separate judging panels, first a Community panel made up of hate crime agencies and a second final judging panel which will review nominees. The latter will be made up of individuals who have some profile or standing within communities.
Their decisions are final and one successful winner will be approved for each category, however the No2H8 Crime Awards reserve the right to pull any nomination at any time if given cause to do so.
The No2H8 Crime Awards shall not be liable for any failure to comply with its obligations where the failure is caused by something outside its reasonable control. Such circumstances shall include, but not be limited to, weather conditions, fire, flood, hurricane, strike, industrial dispute, war, hostilities, political unrest, riots, civil commotion, a pandemic, inevitable accidents, supervening legislation or any other circumstances amounting to force majeure.
We hope that you may support the evening through promoting it via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or by highlighting to others, so that they can nominate Upstanders in their local communities for an award.
