How is SEOTY 2012 judging structured?

Each student category is judged at four levels: Institutional, Regional, National and Overall Student Employee of the Year

• Category winners at institutional level are put forward to be judged at Regional level
  
• Category winners at regional level are then put forward to be judged for the National competition
  
• Then an overall National Student Employee of the Year is selected from amont the National student category winners

This year's categories

The categories remain the same this year. An overall Student Employee of the Year will be selected from among these national category winners.

• International Student Employee of the Year
• On Campus Student Employee of the Year
• Off Campus Student Employee of the Year
• Jobshop Student Employee of the Year

We also recognise the contribution of good student employers in the National Student Employer of the Year competition.

How is the competition judged?

Information for SEOTY judges

Whether you are a SEOTY judge, a job shop running a campaign or a student looking for a nomination you might find it useful to look through this document. It details the criteria we use when deciding who our winners will be.

Institutionally

NASES member universities and colleges around the country will receive anonymised nomination forms representing each student or employer entered into the competition from their institution. Representatives from institutional job shops or careers services will then assemble their team of three judges (these will be picked from a variety of sectors including academics, business representatives, careers specialists representatives from Endsleigh Insurance Ltd. and employers). The judges then compare all entries in a particular category and then decide together which nomination they will submit to regional judging. Institutional winners will receive a certificate and be entered to the next stage of the competition.

Regionally 

The competition is divided into seven regions:

• London and South East;
• Midlands;
• North East; 
• North West;
• Scotland and Northern Ireland; 
• South West;
• and Wales.

The NASES regional representative from each of these regions will gather together a team of three judges (at this stage we'll be adding some of our SEOTY alumni to our judging panels) and they will again be tasked with selecting the best entry in each category for their region. These nominations will be submitted to the National competition.

Nationally

The National judging event will be held at the Cheltenham offices of our sponsor Endsleigh Insurance Ltd. The judging team will be made up of senior staff from Endsleigh Insurance Ltd, Experienced job shop staff, SEOTY Alumni, and a NASES head judge. This team will take time to pore over the (still anonymous) nominations received from each region. They then meet to select a single winner in each category. From those winners who will all receive a certificate, trophy, £100 cheque and an invitation to the SEOTY awards celebration in July, an overall winner will be chosen to be our 10th National Student Employee of the Year to join our illustrious list of alumni.
