Tips for successful nominations:
Tell us what makes them special.
Go beyond describing someone's job or responsibilities. Explain what makes this person, team, or project deserving of recognition and how they've made a difference.
Use real examples.
Share a specific story or accomplishment that demonstrates their contribution. What challenge did they face, what did they do, and what happened as a result?
Focus on the impact.
Help us understand how their efforts have benefited the community, improved services, supported others, or created lasting positive change.
Don't worry about fancy writing.
You don't need to be a professional writer to submit a great nomination. Use your own words, be genuine, and tell us why you think they deserve to be recognized.
Include any supporting documents.
You can upload any documents you believe would support your nomination of the candidate.
