Writing a nomination for an award can seem like an intimidating undertaking. We have a few tips to help.

1. Carefully review the criteria for the category. Determine if the nominee meets it. If you have questions, call Laurenda Madill at Travel Manitoba at 927-7833.
2. Begin to compile information as soon as you can, so you don't feel rushed.
3. Be specific in your answers and use plain language. Although experts in the industry, the people who read the nomination may not be familiar with the acronyms or jargon that may be second nature to you.
4. Address all parts of each question completely.
