how to write a great nomination

We know writing nominations can be tough, but it is so vital that you make your volunteer's exceptional qualities and achievements really stand out. Our judges need to know what makes this volunteer so great and this is your opportunity to shout out about them.

Remember, it is highly unlikely that our judging panel will know the volunteer you are nominating, so the information you provide is so important.

The best way to show your volunteer's qualities or achievements is to use precise facts about them, for example, how much money they have helped to raise for us, how they have supported people in different ways, what impact volunteering has had on them and what difference they have made to Tenovus' work overall.

Voting closes on 12 March 2012.
