Tips for a Winning Nomination

Your nominee is more likely to be chosen to receive an award if you include multiple examples, and details such as numbers, quantities, names, buildings, projects, and impact.

Can you think of multiple examples of their unique efforts?
What has changed as a result? How much, or how many?
What is the impact of their work? Who does their work help? What larger goals or programs does the work support?
It’s okay if you don’t know everything about their work — but include all the detail that you do know! The selection committee will not reach out for more info.
