After a summer spent reviewing and rating the 346 nominations received for this year’s Award Scheme, our volunteer Sifting Panel met – online, of course – at the end of September to agree the shortlist to go through to the final stage of judging for the 2020-21 Butler Trust Awards.
We were delighted, particularly in this most challenging of years, that the standard was as high as ever, which made the decision-making as difficult as always – but after much deliberation, the Sifting Panel agreed to put through a final shortlist of 40 nominations.
Congratulations to all of the following – and good luck in the next stage of the process (our final Judging Panel will meet in November and we will announce the names of this year’s Award Winners and Commendees in the New Year):
