The CVQO Westminster Award

The CVQO Westminster Award is CVQO's annual search for the pick of its BTEC learners from across the UK. It runs from November to July, with the ultimate prize being a two-week trip to South Africa for the finalists - as well as lunch at the House of Lords in June and a selection event in Somerset in April.

The Award is intended to recognise the achievements of young people who are determined, always keeping their heads up and remaining positive through adversity; those who have overcome a personal challenge or gone the distance to help someone.
