  • Who can enter? 

Anyone from any country can enter or nominate someone else for an award by entering their details. 

  • Is the entry confidential? 

Information provided in the entry form will be viewed by the judging panel. Shortlisted finalists will have a short biography about them added to the awards page on the Arts & Homelessness International website which will be based on the content of their submitted entry form. Therefore, if your entry contains confidential information that you do want to be shared, please email katie@artshomelessint.com with the details immediately. 

  • Can judges enter the awards?

Our judges aren’t permitted to enter the awards, but their colleagues employed by the organisations they work for, can.  The awards judges are selected for their extensive experience in this sector and are on the panel in their own right, not on behalf of their own organisation. If an entry is submitted by their colleagues, our judges abstain from the category to which the entry applies. To preclude their colleagues from entering would be to exclude hundreds of organisations from having an opportunity to participate. 

  • When is the closing date for entries? 

Entries will close at midnight on 6th November 2023. If entries are submitted after this deadline they will not be included. 

  • When and how will I find out if we/I have been shortlisted? 

After the independent panel meetings have taken place, all nominators will be contacted by email. Finalists will be posted on the Arts & Homelessness website, Amuzn and on social media platforms. 

  • When and where are the winners announced? 

The finalists in each category will be announced on the AHI website and on social media on the 10th of December 2023 on the AHI website, Amuzn and social media.
