Nomination Process

The judges will only evaluate material contained on the nomination form, disregarding any prior knowledge they may have of the nominees.
There does not need to be a formal relationship between nominator(s) and nominee(s). It is the responsibility of the nominator(s) to secure the agreement of the nominee(s) that their nomination may be submitted. This is particularly important as it is a condition of nomination that the nominee(s) agree, if shortlisted for an Award.

There are always fewer awards than people who deserve them. Because receiving awards is so rare, it is reserved for people:
- Who have achieved excellence in their field and/or made significant, observable changes or accomplishments;
- Whose work has benefited somewhat those around them, the community they belong to, or anywhere in the world in their field or activity.
If you think your nominee demonstrates these criteria and that their contribution stands out from those
of others, please consider nominating them for the 4th Mentorship & Volunteerism Excellence Awards .
