The British Citizen Awards is a ceremony held bi-annually in the United Kingdom recognising individuals doing extraordinary works in the local community. It was founded by Basil Preuveneers and Mike Faulkner in September 2012 with the support of Dame Linda Dobbs.[1] The awards take place in January and July each year, with the inaugural ceremony held in January 2015. The presentation ceremonies take place at the Palace of Westminster hosted by The Baroness Wilcox and Lord Dholakia.[2]

Nominations
Individuals are nominated for a British Citizen Award provided that they have had a meaningful impact on their community. Nominees come from all across the UK, all cultural backgrounds, and from all sectors of the community.
Nominations are free and all successful applicants are invited to a presentation day at the Palace of Westminster in London. Those who receive a BCA will be encouraged to use the post nominal after their name, thus enabling them to promote their achievement in perpetuity.
Nominations will require validation, the first level of which is the seconding of all individual submissions. The BCA Independent Assessment Panel will then require evidence that the achievements, commitment and dedication outlined in the application form has brought benefit to any given community or group. Finally the panel will need to ratify the application before an award will be made. The robust process ensures that the award becomes meaningful, sought-after and long-lasting.
