Field guide
Six sections turn a name and a compliment into a complete record that organizers can screen, sort, and send to reviewers.
Nominator
Identify the nominator and their relationship to the person. State whether self-nominations are allowed before the first question.
Nominee
Collect enough identity information to spot duplicates, limited to what organizers need for screening or contact.
Category & eligibility
Turn criteria into clear selections and confirmations. Show dates and category definitions beside the questions.
Rationale
Request what happened, the nominee's role, and why it matters instead of using a blank comment box.
Evidence
Request relevant support and explain accepted formats. Use links for public work and uploads for documents or images.
Consent & administration
Explain submission use, nominee contact, and post-deadline steps. Add the confirmations your process requires.
