STEP 1 – REVIEW AWARD CATEGORIES

• Begin by reviewing the list of award categories and corresponding evaluation questions to determine which category best aligns with the individual or organization you wish to nominate. You must select a primary category for your submission.

STEP 2 – SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT

• Before starting your submission, please ensure all required questions are completed. We recommend copying the questions into a Word document and preparing your responses in advance. Once you're ready, simply visit the online submission form and copy and paste the questions and your answers into the appropriate field for a smooth and efficient process.
• Duplicate entries are not permitted: the same submission may not be entered in multiple categories. If a duplicate is detected, only the first entry will be considered; all others will be disqualified.

dmg events assumes no obligation for expenses by nominees for travel, registration fees, accommodation, food, visa fees or other incidental expenses.

The key to a compelling submission is to provide the judging panel with a clear, concise, and well-structured overview of how your nominee meets or exceeds the criteria for the award. Remember, judges may not be familiar with the individuals or companies being nominated, so it’s your responsibility to tell the full story.

As the submitter, it's important to collaborate with others supporting the nomination to ensure your nominee’s contributions are accurately and effectively represented. Don't rely on reputation alone—make the case.

1. START WITH A STRONG OPENING STATEMENT.
Begin with a clear and specific summary of what the individual or company does within the industry. Avoid vague language or generalities. This statement may be used for marketing purposes if the nominee is selected as a finalist or winner, so make every word count.

2. ALIGN THE NOMINATION WITH THE AWARD CRITERIA.
Make sure the nominee’s accomplishments directly reflect the requirements of the award. Carefully review the award description to ensure your submission is relevant and targeted.

3. BE CONCISE AND AVOID REPETITION.
While input from multiple supporters is encouraged, repeating the same points dilutes the impact of your nomination. Use the available space to provide distinct examples and perspectives that highlight the nominee’s strengths and suitability for the award.
