The nomination form will require you to attach these items. The form allows you to save a partially completed form (link at the very bottom of the form) and return later if you need to find a missing piece of information. When you click “Submit”, you will receive an email with all the information you completed on the Nomination Form.

If there were any errors or incomplete information in your form, the form will not send and you will be directed to the field(s) on the form requiring attention. Your submission has not been accepted until you are redirected to the “Nomination Accepted” page on this website.

The final step is to email transfer the payment or mail a cheque for each nomination. Payments must be received by the nomination deadline. Any incomplete or unpaid nominations will be placed on a waitlist.
