Open Nominations: Finding Your Next Winners

Nominations are the first chapter of any awards story. A smooth submission process means better entries and more engagement before voting even begins.

Keep the form short

Ask only for what you need: name, category, contact details and a clear photo.

Choose free or paid entry

A small entry fee can filter out low-effort submissions and help cover costs, but free entry maximises reach.

Announce a deadline

A clear closing date gives your audience urgency and gives you time to review entries.
