What qualifies someone to receive a sectional award? Consult the specific eligibility requirements and criteria listed for each award.
Can I nominate someone for multiple awards in the same year? Yes. You may nominate the same individual/organization for as many awards as you see fit. On the nomination form, simply make sure to describe how your nominee meets the criteria listed for each of the awards you nominate them for.
Can I nominate myself for an award? Yes. To be considered for an award, we simply need the biographical information regarding a specific individual, facility, or group. This information can come from a relative, close friend, coach, client, or even the candidates themselves.
