How to submit nominations
Use the ISU Extension Awards Nomination Form provided on this website.
Write the nomination using the award criteria as stated in the ISU Extension Awards Descriptions of award categories. The Awards Committee recommends the award application writer REVIEW THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA for the award and use the criteria as HEADINGS within the application. This will help the writer focus on accomplishments related to the award criteria. It will assist the committee members as they review and compare award applications.
Please pay attention to length limitations. All award nominations must have a 75-word summary (used as a basis for the awards program description if the nominee is selected). The complete awards application should contain no more than 825 words, excluding names of nominees and persons submitting the application and the 75-word summary.
- Send completed nomination forms via e-mail by 5 p.m., March 2, 2012, to the awards committee at isueawards@iastate.edu. Faxes are NOT acceptable.
- E-mail the information using the Microsoft Word template and send it as an attachment to the message.
