Recognising our staff 

We are committed to building a supportive, inclusive, and highly motivated community in ICT. As part of this commitment, we have created the Imperial Celebrates Together Awards (ICT Awards) to recognise and celebrate the achievements and hard work of our staff.

Our awards are aligned with the five Imperial values and Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI)​. The Imperial values both underpin and reflect our behaviour and are critical in shaping our working environment and therefore recognition and prizes are awarded to those who display these behaviours in their work.

How to nominate ​ 

Nominations are open to anyone across Imperial to recognise an ICT staff member. You may have collaborated with them on some work, or received help and support which has gone above and beyond your expectations.

Nominations can be made for individuals or teams. There should be a clear, collective achievement/behaviour for team nominations.  ​ 

To nominate, please complete our ICT Awards nomination form.

We ask that you add as many details as possible when nominating and showcase how individuals or teams have aligned their behaviour to the associated Imperial value​.

Read our nomination guidance before writing and submitting.

The Awards

The nominations are considered by ICT Assemble, a voluntary group of ICT staff made up of individuals from across the department, who will choose quarterly winners against each value in a democratic vote. Not every category has to have a winner, so make sure your vote counts by submitting a nomination with as much detail as possible. Additional “highly commended” awards are available for each category.

Our awards are quarterly (March, June, September, and December) with winners recognised at our all-staff meetings.
