Currently, societies that wish to be in the running for this award have to accumulate points throughout the academic year and the society with the most points is declared the OUSA Society of the Year.
The current points system works well in the sense that is standardises things to enable a smooth decision-making process.
However, I believe that societies or even clubs that come out first and second runners-up should also be given a token reward to acknowledge their efforts and contributions. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money for the societies to have forked out funds to organise events just for getting the points only to come out second and not receive anything. A small reward for 2nd and 3rd places will also let societies know how much more effort they need to put in to contest the award for the next year.
I hope to propose this idea to the Clubs Development Officer and Clubs & Societies Council. Vote for me, and I will ensure a that the rewards for Society/Club of the Year awards are based on a system that commends the efforts of each club/society.
