Supremes

Supreme Clubs Awards are a massive celebration of all the amazing things clubs do at UC, from events and initiatives to exciting marketing.

What are the Supreme Club Awards?

The Supreme Clubs Awards are a celebration of all the amazing things clubs do at the University of Canterbury.

Each year, the UCSA has been recognising and awarding students, clubs, initiatives, and events that have excelled and created a true impact in their respective areas. The Supreme Club Awards are an opportunity to bring nominated clubs together with a special awards night, full of fun and celebrations.

The categories and awards aim to represent the wide variety of clubs who host events, event programmes or initiatives during their time at UC. There are 25 awards to be nominated for - from Best Photo of 2024 to Best New Club of 2024 - all the way through to our prestigious UC Supreme Event Award, as voted by the Student Body!
