Recognition A–Z / Awards and recognition

Award nomination evidence

A nomination is a request to consider an entity or achievement. Its value comes from the evidence it makes available for review, not the strength of its promotional language.

What to review

Document the achievement, its dates and the source behind each material claim. Explain the nominee's own contribution and distinguish supplied statements from independently checked information.

A practical example

A nomination describing an operational improvement should show the starting condition and what changed. A list of congratulatory messages would not answer the same question.

Keep the claim in scope

Submission volume and persuasive copy cannot substitute for the applicable qualification rules.

Research and editorial context

An award claim needs the programme name, assessed entity, category and edition. Read the recognition process with the result. WCRC separates research qualification from optional commercial participation; communications and attendance cannot create or alter a research outcome.

Examples illustrate a decision and do not describe a named organisation's conduct. This is a reference note, not a new research finding or an award outcome.
