We do not recommend using AI to write your nomination.
While AI can be a useful tool to improve grammar and writing style, your nomination will be assessed on how well it addresses the assessment criteria, the quality and credibility of the evidence provided, and the authenticity and measurable impact of the outcomes demonstrated.
Generic or vague AI responses with unsupported claims will weaken your nomination.
If you have used AI to write your nomination, you must declare it in your nomination form.
