Awards Nomination Submission Survey

Thanks for taking the time to nominate someone! This form takes about 6-8 minutes and helps our review committee understand exactly why this person deserves recognition — specific stories matter more than general praise.

What is the full name of the person you're nominating?

What is your relationship to the nominee?

• Direct manager
• Colleague on the same team
• Colleague in a different team/department
• Client or external partner
• Direct report
• Other

Which award category are you nominating this person for? (Template note: replace the options below with your program's actual award categories before launching.)

• (Replace with Award Category 1, e.g., Innovation Award)
• (Replace with Award Category 2, e.g., Leadership Award)
• (Replace with Award Category 3, e.g., Community Impact Award)
• Not sure — let the committee decide

Describe one specific accomplishment, project, or moment that best shows why this person deserves this award. Include what they did, when, and what changed as a result.

Rate how strongly the nominee demonstrates each award criterion. (Template note: replace the rows with your program's official judging criteria.)

Of the qualities below, which best describes this nominee and which is least applicable?

• Goes above and beyond their formal role
• Mentors or develops others
• Delivers measurable business or community impact
• Demonstrates innovative thinking
• Exemplifies our organization's values
• Overcomes significant obstacles or setbacks
• Positively influences team or group morale

How strongly would you recommend this person receive the award?

Walk the nominator through the specific example they described: ask exactly what the nominee did, over what timeframe, and what would likely have happened without their involvement. Push for concrete outcomes or numbers ('what changed as a result?') rather than general character traits, and if the response stays vague or purely complimentary, ask for one more concrete moment or piece of evidence a judging committee could verify.

Upload any supporting materials (photos, testimonials, performance data, media coverage) that back up your nomination. Optional but strengthens the case.

Before you submit, please confirm the following.

Which department or team are you part of? (Optional — helps us understand nomination patterns across the organization.)

• (Replace with Department A)
• (Replace with Department B)
• (Replace with Department C)
• Other
• Prefer not to say
