What are the Carrot Awards?

 

At a meeting of a Super Grand Council on the 1st June, 1935, it was resolved:

“That the Carrot Awards shall be made to those who, in the opinion of the Grand Council of His Most Noble Majesty, have rendered outstanding service to the Union Student Group within or without the Royal Precincts.”

 

The following criteria are offered as a guide in the selection of those worth of the Noble Order.

(a) Any persons who have put more work into their offices or positions than basically required, or who have continued to maintain an arduous office in an efficient manner.

(b) Any persons who, by virtue of their leadership, efficiency or any other qualities of character, have put new life into, or maintained a high standard in, any aspect of Union affairs.

For the award of the PACHYDERMATOUS PROTAGONIST (GOLD), both (a) and (b) should be considered.

For the award of ALLEGORICAL ANOMALY (SILVER), either (a) or (b), or parts of both, should be considered.

For the award of PROSTHETICAL PROPITIATION (BRONZE), those persons who have made an outstanding contribution to Union activities should be considered.

 

Open to Students and Staff across both campuses, you cannot nominate Students' Union staff.
