Awards Ceremonies
The Awards Ceremony for our International Competition is always an occasion to remember. We pull out all the stops to ensure our competition winners are recognised for their hard work and extraordinary creative talents. Previous Awards Ceremonies have been held at The Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, the House of Lords, and a City Law firm.
We have welcomed some amazing VIPs including Imam Asim Hafiz, Islamic Advisor to the Military of Defence; Rt Hon. Earl Howe, Minister of State for Defence; Seema Kennedy MP, the Prime Minister’s Parliamentary Private Secretary; General Sir Gordon Messenger, Vice Chief of Defence Staff; Sir Ken Olisa, Lord Lieutenant of London; and Air Vice Marshal Mike Wigston, Assistant Chief of the Air Staff.
Our Awards Ceremonies are international affairs, with representatives of High Commissions and Embassies attending to congratulate young people from all over the world.
