Nominations now open for coveted Animal Welfare Awards
With nominations now open, Ceva has announced the addition of new categories to its annual Animal Welfare Awards.
Now in its third year, the awards recognise volunteers, charity workers and veterinary professionals who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to supporting and improving animal welfare around the world. Historically, the awards have recognised welfare in companion animals, but with the addition of the new Farm Animal Welfare Award, with support from the National Animal Disease Information Service (NADIS), Ceva has extended the criteria to those making a real difference in the farming sector as well.
Farm Animal Welfare Award (UK & International) – in association with NADIS
This new award is for someone who works within the farming industry and who strives to provide or encourage high standards of ethical and compassionate farm animal welfare. The award will go to someone who has made a tangible difference to the welfare of farm animals through direct action or through education and/or awareness.
The deadline for entries is 27th January 2014. To submit a nomination, visit www.cevawelfareawards.com or email nominate@cevawelfareawards.com.
The awards, which take place at the BSAVA Congress in April 2014, will be judged by a panel of esteemed industry professionals including Christopher Laurence MBE BVSc and Claire Bessant of International Cat Care.
Ceva Managing Director, Alan Doyle said: “There are so many individuals that share our vision and values to improve the welfare of animals so this is a fantastic opportunity to honour and champion these inspirational people. We look for volunteers, charity workers and veterinary professionals who have gone beyond the call of duty to really make a difference to the welfare of animals.
“The awards also provide us a platform on which to highlight important issues within animal welfare to the wider animal community.”
