If you are going to submit a nomination, then we strongly urge you to review the descriptions of what we’re looking for and do so in a thorough manner. 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 projects or individuals fail to be recognized only because of the incomplete nature of their written nomination.
