If you submit a nomination, we urge you to be as thorough as possible. Our judges can only assess the merits of a nominated project or individual if they are provided with sufficient details that spell out those merits. In the past, we have seen many worthwhile nominees miss out on recognition because of the incomplete nature of their nomination.
