Nominations are now invited for the 2025/26 High Sheriff Awards. Nominations can be made by anyone who lives or works in Shropshire, whether in the public, voluntary and charitable or private sectors.
All nominations will be treated in the strictest confidence and nominees should not be informed that they have been nominated as it can be very disappointing to raise expectations that are not then met.
To make a nomination, please download the Awards Nomination Form that has been prepared for this purpose, and return the completed form to the High Sheriff preferably by email to Shropshire@highsheriffs.com.
The deadline for nominations is 13 February 2026. Successful nominees will be contacted by 28 February 2026 and the High Sheriff Awards will be conferred at a ceremony on a date to be confirmed, to which nominators, families and friends will also be invited.
