Submitting a nomination
Once a nomination period is open, all users who are eligible to submit nominations will see a Nominate button in the givebox. The Nominate button is badged with the number of open nominations available to the user.

Type in the Who are you nominating field to find the coworker you want to nominate and then select their name from the recipient menu. If the nominee pool is limited, users can review who can be nominated in the submission form.
Users must include a reason for nominating in order to submit. There is no length limit to how much a user can type. Users can use the editing tools to format their message and include url hyperlinks if desired.
Users can only nominate 1 person at a time and cannot nominate themselves.
Click on the Submit nomination button to complete. A message will appear letting you know the submission was successful!
