Congratulations your nomination has been submitted!

Congratulations, your nomination has been submitted and been received by our team. 

Once your nomination has been received it will undergo an initial review by our team.  We will read the nomination.  If the nomination is lacking information or could be improved and time permits, it will be returned to the nominator with feedback.  If changes have not been made by the closing date, the nomination will either be accepted or declined.

After the initial review, if no edits need to be made, the nomination will be accepted.  You will be notified that your nomination has been accepted and the nominee will be notified they have been nominated. 

To submit a new nomination, click back to the Nomination tab and repeat the process.  The same person can be nominated for multiple categories.
