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.
