The Crichton Awards
The Crichton Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025 and we want to shout about it! We are planning the inaugural Crichton Awards evening to recognise all of the work happening at the Crichton and reward the very best of it.
The Awards evening is planned for Thursday 4th December 2025. There are eight prize categories:
- Dumfries and Galloway College – staff member of the year*
- Open University in Scotland – staff member of the year*
- Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) – staff member of the year*
- University of Glasgow – staff member of the year*
- University of the West of Scotland – staff member of the year*
- Small business (less than five paid employees)
- Medium Business (between five and twenty paid employees)
- Large Business (over twenty paid employees)
*Nominations may be for academic, ancillary or support staff.
The Awards are open to all organisations with a base at the Crichton including charities, social enterprise and not for profit as well as businesses. We would like to encourage everyone to nominate at least one person or organisation – you are welcome to nominate yourself! Short listed nominees will receive two complementary tickets to the Awards Event at Easterbrook Hall on Thursday 4th December. This will be an excellent opportunity to showcase the work you do.
