What Makes a Good Nomination:
Think of this nomination as a job interview. A compelling nomination will:
- Get to the point! Many questions have a character limit of 2,000 characters (including spacing and punctuation). They suggest creating your responses in a Word document and copying into the nomination form.
- It leaves out the unnecessary. Avoid fluff such as superfluous adjectives and empty praise. Don’t list an exhaustive resume of achievements/accomplishments; stick to the specific reasons why the nominee deserves recognition.
- Make sure to highlight the big impact of your nominee’s work professionally, but don’t be repetitive.
- Quantify your answers. How much revenue did a new innovation generate or what percentage of growth did the company recognize?
