How to present your Nominee:

1. Identify your nomination team on the NOMINATION FORMS tabbed above (or click here).  You will need a Nominee, a Nominator, and three additional References. The Charles Bronfman Prize encourages Nominators to collaborate with their Nominee to present a strong, well-informed nomination.
    
2. The Nominator writes the letter of nomination and should be someone who is well acquainted with the candidate and can broadly attest to his/her suitability as a candidate against the selection criteria.  S/he is the point of contact between the Prize and the nomination and must be available for possible follow-up inquiries throughout the selection process and willing to take responsibility for submitting the completed nomination package. The letter of nomination should present the nominee and broadly attest to his/her suitability as a candidate against the evaluation criteria outlined below.
    
3. The three additional letters of reference should come from colleagues both inside and outside the Nominee’s organization, and be used as an opportunity to reflect upon the qualifications and global impact of the Nominee against the evaluation criteria.
   
   
4. Nominators and References must be someone other than the Nominee, or his/her family member.
   
   
5. The Nomination letter and References combine to illustrate that the nomination addresses each of the selection criteria:
   
   
• In what context, and for how long, have you known the nominee?
• What makes your Nominee’s innovation and vision for change unique within their chosen field?
• Has your Nominee created new pathways through their leadership and guidance?  Is s/he connected to the larger field in which s/he works and recognized as a leader both within the organization and globally?
• How have the endeavors of your Nominee demonstrated measurable impact qualitatively and quantitatively? Has their effectiveness been broadly endorsed?
• What manifestation of your Nominee’s Jewish values and universal regard for humanity do you believe will inspire and serve as a model for future generations?
  
  
6. All documents must be provided in English. A signed translation is acceptable.
   
   
7. Nominators are responsible for submitting the complete Nomination package consisting of:
   
   
• Signed Nomination forms (see above tab or click here)
• Signed Nomination letter 
• Three additional signed letters of reference
• Curriculum Vitae
• Proof of age. Nominees must be under 50 years of age by January 15, 2010. Copy of birth certificate or passport page is acceptable.
