SUPREME CLUB AWARDS
What are the Supreme Club Awards?
The Supreme Club 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 to Best New Club – all the way through to our prestigious Supreme Club Event Award, as voted by the Student Body!
The Supreme Club Awards ceremony was held on October 2nd, 2026.
Supreme Club Awards will be back in 2027.
