Our fantastic shortlist for the OSCARS 2022/23 is below. This year we had over 750 nominations, which is incredible. The judges really did have such a difficult task. A lot judges told us they could easily have shortlisted many more colleagues than they did. A testament to our outstanding colleagues across the Trust that their job was so challenging.
Huge congratulations to all those shortlisted. Winners will be announced at our ceremony on 7 July 2023.
Judging
We were committed to making the judging as fair as possible, so we had a two phase judging process which involved a broad range of representatives from across the Trust.
Phase one included six panels of representatives. They each chose their top four nominations from the categories they were judging. All nominations shortlisted by phase one were then sent on to phase two. Phase two met to discuss the nominations, they chose their top four and voted for their winner in each category. Huge thanks to all our judges.
