# British Citizen Awards

The British Citizen Award (BCA) is a recognition programme (The People's Honours) which is held bi-annually in the United Kingdom for individuals doing extraordinary work in their local community. The People's Honours was founded in September 2012. The medal presentation takes place in January and July each year at the Palace of Westminster hosted by The Rt. Hon. Lord Dholakia. In order to honour young people who are aged 18 and under who are also doing extraordinary work in their community, The British Citizen Youth Award was launched. The award ceremony for the BCyA also takes place at The Palace of Westminster annually in October each year.

## Patrons

* Mary Perkins
* Lord Dholakia
* Bradley Walsh

## Nominations

Individuals are nominated for The 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.

## Categories

Each award is made in its own category. There's currently 8 categories:
* BCAa - for Service to Arts
* BCAb - for Service to Business
* BCAc - for Service to the Community
* BCAe - for Service to Education
* BCAh - for Service to Healthcare
* BCAi - for Service to Industry
* BCAo - for International Achievement
