It is strongly recommended that nominators consult with the nominee, her friends, and/or her family members for the purpose of securing information that would be helpful in responding to the questions on the form - The selection committee heavily depends on the detail and quality of the information you provide to make our decision. All applications are scored through an anonymous rubric process and selected based on the committee's collective results. Posthumous nominations are also allowed and encouraged.
