Each form will only allow you to submit one person, but you can submit more than one form for more than one category. You are not limited to the amount of submissions you may make. To make a submission, you will need to know your nominee’s full name, classification and email. You will also have to answer three questions about your nominee; the better your answer, the more likely they will be selected to be in the special issue. Each submission should take less than 5 minutes.
The nomination process will close February 1, 2013 at 5PM. No submissions will be accepted after this date and time. If you have been nominated and have made it passed a preliminary evaluation, you will be contacted via email within the following week notifying you of your nomination status and requesting more information if needed. Considering we typically receive a large amount of submissions, those who do not make it pass the preliminary evaluation will not be contacted.
The final issue will be compiled throughout the Spring semester and will be published in late April.
