Nominating Process
All nominees, regardless of category, are considered on merit. Historical results, personal profile, cultural and community engagement, and other achievements form the basis for background checking nominees, who are then put forward for consideration. Nominees will be considered in no particular chronological order, and all will be considered on merit.
Once a nomination has been received for a person there is no need to re-nominate if unsuccessful. Each nomination carries over into subsequent years for consideration. Additional information for non-successful applications is welcome at any time.
Members of the public are invited to submit nominations for the following year by the closing deadline of December 30th. Nominations must be made using the Online Nomination Form and include detailed justification.
