Carefully review award-specific criteria to ensure your nomination is in the appropriate category and meets the award requirements.
Include quotes from managers, co-workers, and customers; give detailed descriptions of achievements, results, and impact; and provide personal illustrations that set your nominee apart from others and make them the ideal candidate to win the award.
Identify and collect supporting materials (up to three), such as news articles, letters of recommendation, videos, etc. If you don't have news articles or more formal materials, get creative. Do a video interview with your nominee. Collect quotes from co-workers and supervisors. The supplemental information is a great way to make your nominee stand out, so make sure to take advantage of the opportunity.
Use each question to introduce new information, quotes, and examples. It's okay to repeat some information but make sure to use the space to present as detailed a picture of your nominee as possible.
Don't wait until the last minute to create/submit your nomination. This will help ensure you have enough time to gather information, navigate any tech glitches, ask questions, etc.
