Do I need to create an account to submit a nomination?

No. Only nominees are required to create an account to complete their full submission (nomination package). If you're just nominating someone else, no account is needed.

Can I submit more than one nomination?

Yes. You can nominate multiple individuals, businesses, or organizations for different award categories.
Please note: submitting multiple nominations for the same nominee in the same category will not increase their chances of being selected.

How will I know if I've been nominated?

If you've been nominated and meet all the award criteria, you'll receive a confirmation email with an invitation to log in or create your account. From there, you'll be able to complete and submit your nomination package (in-depth proposal).

Invitations to submit will be sent to eligible nominees by Wednesday, July 16, 2025.

How do I complete my online submission?

  1. Log in to your account using the link provided in your confirmation email.
  2. From your dashboard, click “Start a new entry.”
  3. Select the award category, give your entry a title (for your own reference), and click “Start.”
  4. Complete the required fields in the form.

Your work will be saved automatically, so you can return to it and edit at any time before the deadline (11:59pm, July 30, 2025).

Can I make changes to my entry after I've submitted it?

Yes. You can edit your submission up until the entry deadline (11:59pm, July 30, 2025). After that, your submission will be locked for editing but still viewable.

Do I need any special software to submit an entry?

No. The awards platform is entirely web-based. You can submit your entry using any device — phone, tablet, or computer — with a modern browser.

How is my information protected?

Your data is protected using 4096-bit encryption, and the entire system is backed up daily to ensure your information is secure.
