Award Submission Tips

By following these tips and providing clear examples and explanations, nominees can enhance their chances of success in the award nomination process.

Address Award Criteria Clearly
When applying, ensure to address all key points listed in the award criteria. Provide clear and concise explanations, avoiding assumptions that the committee understands the specific nature of the project or achievement without full context. The information provided on the application can significantly impact the evaluation process and set nominees apart from others..

Incorporate Personal Anecdotes
Enhance the depth and personalization of the nomination by sharing personal experiences related to the project or individual. Personal anecdotes provide additional evidence of qualifications, credibility, and compelling attributes, thus strengthening the nomination.

Highlight Innovative Approaches
Describe any innovative or creative approaches used in the project or by the individual that distinguish them from others in the field. This could include unique solutions to challenges, groundbreaking research methodologies, or innovative strategies for achieving goals.

Provide Comprehensive Information
Fill out all fields in the online survey and include supplementary materials such as pictures, articles, or testimonials to provide comprehensive information about the nominee and their project. Remember, the committee may not be familiar with the details, so providing as much explanation as possible is crucial.

Apply for Chapter Awards
Take advantage of opportunities offered by local chapters, as chapter award winners are automatically considered for higher-level Environmental Awards. Past recipients have achieved success at both regional and international levels. Check with your local chapter for available awards.

Embrace Self-Nomination
Don't hesitate to nominate yourself for an award. Who better to submit a nomination on an award category or project than you? Self-nomination ensures that all relevant information is included and allows nominees to take ownership of their achievements.
