How much does it cost to submit a nomination?
The nomination fee is $25. This fee is collected during your nomination submission process. It is located at the end of your submission. You may use any credit/debit card that is accepted with Square.
What documents or materials will I need to submit a nomination?
All nominations will require a photo of the person, team, community, or company being nominated. You will also be able to add letters of recommendation and other backup materials (such as notes from residents or clients). No PowerPoint or large file formats will be accepted.
Can I nominate someone from another company (i.e. Nominate your favorite supplier partner!)
Yes! Take a look at our Sample Nomination Form to familiarize yourself with the form questions you may need to gather answers for.
Can I nominate myself?
Yes, of course! This is encouraged! You deserve it!
Is there a limit to the number of nominations that I can submit?
Nope! But, you may only nominate a person or company once per category. (Tip: the more submissions for a nominee does NOT mean the better chance of winning. Judges will select a winner based on the details and documents that are shared on their submission, so the more detail the better.)
Can I email my submissions and supporting documents?
No, all submissions are accepted only by submitting through the links above. Any information emailed will not be accepted. If you are having trouble submitting a nomination, give us a call! :)
How are the award nominations judged?
Awards are judged by association staff from outside of our market, and even outside of the state! They are given a rubric for each award category based on the unique characteristics of the award. It's important to be thorough as the judge won't be familiar with the person, team, or company/community you are nominating so it is up to you to paint the picture!
