The Bailiff’s Covid-19 Awards will honour various individuals and groups, including charities, community and volunteer organisations, parishes, private sector companies and those within the government.
Anyone can nominate someone for an award and submissions should not be larger than one A4 page – providing balanced justification as to why the individuals are being nominated.
Entries should fit within the nomination criteria, however they will be accepted for other reasons as long as they are outlined clearly and show an individual excelling or performing ‘beyond their usual capacity’ during the pandemic.
The Bailiff, Timothy Le Cocq, said: ‘Jersey’s response to Covid-19 has required many people to demonstrate exceptional levels of leadership, commitment and compassion. Many in the public sector and elsewhere have worked tirelessly to ensure that the Jersey community was as safe as possible.
‘These awards will capture individuals within the specified criteria from public, private and third sectors. These exceptional acts and qualities should be recognised at Island level and we hope that these awards will go some way to doing that.’
He added: ‘I am proud of how our community pulled together and look forward to receiving submissions for these awards.’
The deadline for nominations is Tuesday 1 September and submissions should be sent by email to bailiffschambers@gov.je or by post to ‘The Bailiff’s Chambers, Royal Court House, Royal Square, St Helier, JE1 1BA.’
