2011 Tilley awards

Changes to the 2011 award scheme

We have made a number of changes to this year’s scheme:

• we have introduced two phases, with applications to be submitted under certain themes (further information is below)
• we have stopped the practice of regional winners going forward to the national finals
• we have updated the application form and issued guidance to help complete the form (further information is below)

Application form for 2011

The application form has now changed - please make sure you read the guidance for entrants to 2011 awards to help you complete the new form.

If you don't adhere to the terms and conditions of the competition could see your application rejected.

• acquisitive crime 
• drug and alcohol-related crime
• criminal damage/arson

The deadline for submitting entries for phase one was 13 June 2011.

Road shows to support applicants

Two sets of roadshows will run to support applicants wishing to submit projects to either phase of the 2011 awards.

The popularity vote

New to the Tilley awards 2011, the popularity vote aims to raise the profile of the effective practice in problem-solving demonstrated by Tilley award national finalists. The applicants’ guidance contains further information.

Award ceremony

An award ceremony will be held in London at the end of the year to recognise the achievements of national finalists and to announce the overall top three entries received in this year’s competition.
