Make a strong nominee profile

A clear profile helps visitors understand who you are and what you have accomplished. Use your biography to explain your work in your own words, and choose the category that best fits your contribution.

Before submitting, check that your contact information is current and that any profile or portfolio links lead to material you are comfortable sharing publicly.

What happens after applying?

New nominee applications are reviewed before they appear in the public nominee directory. You can sign in to manage your profile; an application still under review is not yet available for public voting.

Support a nominee

Browse the published nominee profiles to learn about their work, then share a profile with people who may want to support them. Voting is available only during the dates shown in the voting window on the home page.
