AWARD NOMINATION FORM
Award nomination form for clear, reviewable entries
Ask for enough context to judge the achievement without making nominators understand your internal workflow or repeat the same information.
The worked form supports self-nomination and nomination by another person. Conditional questions collect the nominator's relationship only when it applies.

What you can do nextSend the submitted entry to an eligibility review that can accept it, return it with a specific correction, or mark it ineligible.
Use questions people can answer without your rulebook
Clear prompts produce clearer entries and reduce correction work.
What did the nominee do?
Ask for a concise achievement title and a plain-language description of the work.
What changed as a result?
Ask for measurable or observable outcomes, not a generic statement that the project was successful.
What supports the claim?
Request relevant records or independent evidence and explain accepted formats.
Does the nominee agree?
Record participation or publication consent at the appropriate point in your program.
Treat self- and third-party nominations differently
Conditional fields reduce clutter while preserving the extra context a reviewer needs.
Choose nomination type
The nominator selects self-nomination or nomination by someone else.
Ask for relationship when needed
The relationship question appears only for a third-party nomination.
Keep common evidence consistent
Both paths use the same category, achievement, outcome and evidence questions.
Set an honest expectation about what happens next
Submission does not mean eligibility or selection.
Confirm receipt
Show an entry reference and the program name.
Explain correction requests
Tell nominators how they will receive and answer a request for missing information.
Protect result language
State that eligible entries proceed to judging and results require separate authorization.
Separate entrant questions from review decisions
A shorter form is easier to complete, while eligibility, scoring and results stay with the people responsible for those decisions.
| Field | Public form? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Nominee and achievement | Yes | The nominator supplies the core entry |
| Evidence and nominee agreement | Yes | Eligibility depends on current supporting context |
| Eligibility status | No | A coordinator records the decision |
| Judge assignment and score | No | Judging starts only after eligibility |
| Winner result | No | The panel authorizes it later |
WHY TEAMS BUILD THIS IN JODOO
Ask only the questions this nominator needs
The form changes when someone nominates another person, while the achievement and evidence questions stay consistent for reviewers.
Nominators get a clearer form, and coordinators receive information they can actually review.Show conditional questions
A third-party nominator sees a relationship question; a self-nominator does not.
Edit wording without code
The program team can change category choices and evidence prompts as requirements evolve.
Keep the submitted record
The entry ID connects the answers to eligibility checks and later judging instead of re-keying the nomination.
A good form does not replace the review process
The public form collects the achievement; coordinators and judges make their decisions later.
Ask entrants
Who is nominated, what changed, when it happened, and what evidence supports the claim.
Leave off the public form
Eligibility status, judge assignment, scores and final result.
Test before sharing
Check the actual public link, attachment flow and narrow-screen layout with the devices entrants use.
Questions about award nomination form
What should an award nomination form include?
Include the program and category, nominee, nominator where relevant, achievement, measurable outcomes, eligible period, supporting evidence and any required nominee agreement.
Can the same form support self-nomination and nomination by someone else?
Yes. Use a nomination-type choice and show the relationship question only for third-party nominations.
Should we ask nominators to score the entry?
Usually no. The nominator describes the achievement and evidence. Assigned judges apply the program's rubric after eligibility is confirmed.
What should I check before sharing the form with entrants?
Open the public form on the phones your entrants use. Check long answers, required fields, uploads and confirmation before sending the link broadly. The example gallery shows the self- and third-party question paths, not a certified mobile layout.
