Nominations open for BSAVA Awards

The search is on for the veterinary sector’s unsung heroes after nominations opened for the 2025 BSAVA Awards.

Entries are being sought in eight categories, the awards for which will be presented during the association’s annual congress in Manchester next March.

BSAVA honorary secretary Adam Gow said: “It’s a real honour each year to celebrate those who have made a significant difference within our profession.

“We encourage everyone to make a nomination of as many colleagues and peers as possible, this is our way of saying thank you.”

Award categories

Across more than 60 years, the awards have sought to honour outstanding contributions to veterinary science, research, clinical practice, education and small animal welfare. The categories are:

  • The Bourgelat Award for international contributions to small animal practice or science
  • The Simon Award for advancements in small animal surgery
  • The Woodrow Award for advancements in small animal medicine
  • The Amoroso Award, presented by Hill’s to honour contributions to small animal undergraduate teaching
  • The Blaine Award for advancements in non-client facing small animal medicine
  • The Bruce Vivash Jones Veterinary Nurse Award for advancements in small animal veterinary nursing
  • The Ray Butcher Award for a non-veterinary individual who has made a significant contribution to animal welfare in the community
  • The JA Wight Memorial Award, presented by Blue Cross, for a vet who has made an outstanding contribution to companion animal welfare

Nominations open

Nominations, which can be submitted by both BSAVA members and non-members, will remain open until 30 October with the winners set to be announced in mid-January.
