Topic: UK Awards for biological recording and information sharing

Hi all,

As you will hopefully be aware, we have launched this year's awards.  You can find out more here: https://nbn.org.uk/news-events-publicat … n-sharing/

This year there are six categories:

  • Gilbert White Youth Award for terrestrial and freshwater wildlife

  • Gilbert White Adult Award for terrestrial and freshwater wildlife

  • David Robertson Youth Award for marine and coastal wildlife

  • David Robertson Adult Award for marine and coastal wildlife

  • Lynne Farrell Group Award for wildlife recording

  • Adult Newcomer Award

We have adapted the nomination forms to make them more user friendly and also to draw out as much information as possible on the nominees.  This year you can also nominate yourself!

We will be announcing the shortlisted nominees on 29th September, so we can recognise even more amazing people in the field of recording.

We have also devised a social media kit, to help you spread the word: https://nbn.org.uk/news-events-publicat … ring-2017/

Nominations close on 31st July, so get nominating now!

The supporters of the 2017 Awards are Opticron, Paramo Directional Clothing and the Field Studies Council.
