Here are some tips for writing a stand-out nomination
- Aim for quality, not quantity: a long nomination isn’t always a better nomination. Keep your sentences short and concise, avoiding repetition.
- Consider your audience: the committee is made up of everyday community members from all walks of life who may not be familiar with the nominee’s field of expertise, so avoid using jargon or acronyms.
- Share the nominee’s story: strengthen your nomination by painting a picture of the nominee i.e. what motivates theme .What personal challenges have they overcome. Why do they inspire others.
- Tell the facts: support your nomination with facts and statistics such as measures of success.
- Provide examples: don’t just make a statement, demonstrate it with examples.
