The 2012 Federal 100 nomination form

Federal Computer Week is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Federal 100 awards program, which recognizes individuals in government and industry who have played pivotal roles in the federal IT community. All nominations must be submitted via the electronic form below.

Nominations are now closed.. 

Here are the guidelines for submitting nominations.

* Focus on the individual. The Federal 100 program recognizes outstanding contributions by individuals, not groups or projects.

* Focus on the impact. Explain how a nominee’s work made a significant difference, either in the organization or the community at large. Do not nominate people simply for doing their jobs.

* Focus on achievements in 2011. If the work for which you are nominating the person is part of an ongoing project, explain the significance of his or her accomplishments in calendar year 2011 and why he or she is deserving of recognition in this year’s awards program. Nominations without this information might be rejected.

* Look for the unsung heroes. Keep an eye out for individuals who, without the benefit of visibility or influence, made a difference through their creativity, energy and sheer tenacity.

When filling out the form:

• Be sure to include information on supporting nominators. But do not list someone who is unaware of the nomination.
• If the nomination recognizes work done in or on behalf of government, be sure that either the primary or at least one supporting nominator comes from government.
• Do not duplicate the content of a nomination submitted by someone else.
• Please observe the limits on word counts.
