North East Awards

Each year the Society brings together a panel from a range of leading organisations in the North East to help it to honour individuals who have been nominated for Outstanding Service to Agriculture. Anyone may put forward nominations and four winners are selected annually. The presentations are made in association with key sponsors at the Royal Northern Awards Lunch in November. On this distinguished occasion the Society also recognises three promising agricultural students and engineering apprentices.

For information on how to nominate someone for an RNAS award please download the 'Award Criteria & Guide to Writing a Citation' document below.

Those seeking assistance in drafting citations are welcome to contact the RNAS Secretary in confidence. The citations of successful nominees will be made available to speakers before the Awards Ceremony.

The Awards Lunch is always a very well attended function where all are welcome to attend.
