Submission tips

Check the eligibility and selection criteria for the award category you want to nominate someone for. Criteria questions can also be accessed in each example pdf included in each category

Prepare your responses to the selection criteria and save in a Word document (or equivalent) before copying into the appropriate sections of the online application.

Your responses:

  • should address the selection criteria in the prompt nomination question
  • should be in clear and simple writing, dot points are acceptable
  • should only use AI to check your grammar, structure or writing style. If you decide to use AI, you should declare it in your nomination
  • should support your answers by giving practical examples and evidence. Avoid any vague generalisations or unsupported claims
  • should refer to any supporting files that you included as an attachment.

See below for more information about submitting your nomination.
