Anyone can submit a nomination. You can even nominate yourself. Note: you must receive permission from the individual or the organization you are nominating to nominate them.

| Q. |
Can I nominate an organization or a person who
has already won a Brillante award in the past? |
| A. |
Organizations competing for the Corporate, Educational, or Non-profit Award can win once every five years. Thus, in order to be considered for 2008, an organization must not have won since 2004. An individual competing for the Member Service, Corporate Executive, or Entrepreneur Award cannot win more than once for the same category.

| Q. |
How are the winners chosen? |

Nominations are judged using the criteria in the award categories section of our website. An anonymous judging committee consisting of NSHMBA chapter and corporate advisory board leadership judges the awards. Judges are not affiliated in any way with the nominees that they judge.

| Q. |
How do I write a good justification statement? |
| A. |
Make sure you address all the criteria in the

accomplishments—the more specific, and the more examples (within the page limit)
the better. [ return to top ] |
