Distribution of Awards:
To endeavour to make the distribution of awards as equitable as possible throughout Canada, the number of awards will be proportionate to the number of members per Region. Detailed information regarding number of nominations per club is stated below.

Acknowledging that club sizes vary and statistically larger clubs may have more potential candidates, the nomination guide will be as follows:
1. Clubs with 1-50 members will be entitled to one nomination. For every 50 members
thereafter, each club will be eligible for another nomination. For instance a club with 100 members would be eligible for 2 nominations, a club of 150 members would be eligible for 3 nominations.
2. Completed nomination forms must be sent to the appropriate Regional Committee or VP Prairies by March 28, 2017. A Regional Committee will be made up of the Regional Council and VP Prairies (VP Prairies, VP Atlantic, VP Ontario, VP British Columbia, VP Quebec), one Regional Director and two club members from that region. (This Committee will vet the clubs' entries (April 2017- June 2017).
3. The VP Membership shall also nominate 15 women as per criteria from across the country. These names will be submitted directly to the national committee.
4. Each Regional Committee and VP Prairies is asked to submit no less than 5 and a maximum of 30 nominations to the national judging committee by September 30, 2017.
