Best practices for award forms
- Publish scoring criteria before nominations open
- Ask for evidence against each criterion explicitly
- Cap supporting files so judging stays manageable
- Close entries on one firm, communicated date
Common mistakes to avoid
- Accepting free-form pitches with nothing comparable
- Letting nominators nominate themselves unnoticed
- Judging from email attachments instead of exports
- Announcing winners without documenting the scoring
Frequently asked questions about the Award Nomination Form template
Everything you need to know about this template.
- What information should award nominations collect?
Nominator and nominee identities, the category entered, and an achievement statement mapped explicitly to each published criterion, plus supporting documents where they genuinely help judges.Criterion-mapped achievement statements give judges comparable substance rather than praise paragraphs of wildly uneven quality.
- Can one person submit multiple nominations?
Yes, and you can control it either way. Leave submissions open for distinct nominees, or use validation rules to prevent duplicate entries from the same nominator.Validation rules distinguish legitimate multiple nominees from duplicate spam, flexibly configured per program rules.
- How do judges evaluate nominations consistently?
Export all entries to CSV with identical fields, share scoring rubrics derived from your published criteria, and review blind wherever your process allows.Identical export fields plus shared rubrics make committee scoring fair and publicly defensible afterward.
- How do I create an award nomination form?
Start from this ready-made template and customize it in the drag and drop builder, generate one from a short text description with the AI form builder, or assemble fields yourself on a blank canvas. All three routes produce the same editable structure, so you can add logic, calculations, and branding whenever you need them.
- Is the award nomination form free to use?
Yes. SharaForms does not charge per form or per response, so this template runs on the free plan with unlimited forms and unlimited submissions. Core features such as conditional logic, calculations, signatures, and all three presentation modes are included at no cost. Paid plans only add optional extras like branding removal and premium integrations.
- Can I embed the award nomination form on my website?
Yes. Publish the form and either share its direct link or embed it with a small code snippet. The embedded version adapts to your page width, keeps your theme, and submits without sending visitors anywhere else, so it behaves like a native part of your site.
