Contact Details
You will be asked to provide your details for communication purposes. Providing the contact details of the nominee is optional but highly recommended as it enables us to communicate with them throughout the process.
How much detail do you need to submit?
You will be asked the following information: a brief overview of why the nominee deserves to win the award; how the nominee meets each part of the criteria; videos/pictures/documents to support the nomination if you wish
The judging panels will be making decisions against the information you provide so you're encouraged to include as much as you can. However, please don't be put off if you don't have everything to hand because another nominator or your County Association can add further detail. You may also choose to write bullet points or list key facts.
