1. Tell us what made your experience special, memorable or unique.

A good Awards nomination explains why you have gone to the trouble of nominating someone for providing excellent service. Tell us what made your service experience special – or even memorable or unique. Do you have any photographs that capture the moment? Feel free to submit them to us.

2. Be open and share your personal reaction/feelings around what you experienced.

When talking about the amazing service you received, also talk about how that made you personally feel.

3. Be detailed in the information you give around the service you received.

What caused you to be using this service? What did you require of the service? How did the service you received meet or exceed expectations?

4. Give context such as names, locations and timings

Can you remember the name and location where you received this amazing service? Approximate dates? This helps us to locate and award the right person.
