The Annual Awards are divided into three categories and are open to nominations between January and September each year.

Individuals, publishers and researchers may nominate others' work, although current Coaching Centre associates, employees and others linked to Henley are excluded. Nominations should include a published version of the book or article. Books and articles must have been published in the last 12 months.

The Henley team will review nominations and make a selection based on what they consider to be outstanding work in each category.
