Prepare your nomination
Help us understand their impact.
You do not need polished language. A clear account of what the person has done is a helpful place to start.
Choose the best fit
Read the category descriptions and consider which one most closely matches the person's contribution.
Be specific
Describe what they did, who it helped and why it mattered. A few concrete examples will make their contribution easier to understand.
Review before sending
Check names and contact details, read your explanation once more, then submit through the official form.
A little recognition matters
Tell the story behind the effort.
Community contribution comes in many forms, from a long-standing commitment to a new idea that brings people together.
When writing your nomination, focus on the person's actions. Explain the difference you have seen and what makes their contribution stand out to you.
Keep the nomination relevant and respectful. Avoid including private information that is not needed to explain their contribution.
