Sport Colours are non-performance-based and awarded to individuals based on a member’s contribution beyond their established role. Nomination forms must demonstrate how the individuals have gone beyond their current role, with suggested areas below. Only one individual from each individual sports club will be recognised each year. If more than one nomination of suitable quality is received then the panel will ask the club committee to make the final decision on who is awarded.

Please note Sport Colours are only awarded once.

• Instrumental in the day to day running of the club.
• Contribution to the club’s development
• Involved with fundraising and/or attracting sponsorship for the club
• Promoting the club and its activities
• Instrumental in implementing UoB Sport & Fitness policies and encouraging good practise (e.g. in health & safety)

An award based on the individual’s level of performance. Please note Half Blues are only awarded once.

Candidates must meet at least one of the below:

• Has been awarded a BUCS* Individual medal
• Has been awarded a BUCS* team Championship (i.e. not Trophy or Shield) gold medal

* A non-BUCS equivalent at the highest level is also accepted, e.g. senior-level representation

An award based on the individual’s level of performance. Candidates should have competed in BUCS competitions where possible and must meet at least one of the below:

• Has competed internationally for/whilst studying at the University of Birmingham
• Has made an outstanding contribution to HE Sport on an international level

International representation refers to full representation – being involved in a tour squad will not be accepted. Nominations go to a panel to be considered – you should not presume an award will be made based on submission of the form. Please note Full Blues are only awarded once.

If there is any confusion as to which representative award an individual is eligible for then please contact R.McWhinnie@bham.ac.uk detailing all of the achievements made by the individual.
