Individuals may not nominate themselves or family members.

All nominations, whether from an individual or an organization, must include the name and address of the person or persons submitting the nomination.

All nominees should have a distinguished, well-rounded record of community service demonstrated through participation and leadership in and for various community organizations and institutions, which has positively impacted the lives of citizens of New Tecumseth and has significantly contributed to the town through voluntary service.

The nomination should also include a biography of the nominee, including the nominee’s contributions to the town and the nominee’s volunteer contributions. It should also contain a professional-quality colour or a black-and-white, 8×10 photograph of the nominee.
