INTERNATIONAL AWARDS REGIONAL AWARDS
NOTE: Effective immediately, the regional and international awards programs will no longer be tied together. Beginning with the 2026 awards season, regional award winners will no longer be eligible to be moved to the international level of competition. If a regional nominator wishes for their winning regional candidate to be considered at the international level, they must submit a new international nomination.

Nominate a Deserving Colleague in 5 Easy Steps
Step 1 | We strongly encourage you to watch the webinar "Crafting an Award-Winning Nomination" by SPE member Susan Howes. Susan's keynote speech begins at 18:57.
Step 2 | Determine whether the candidate is best suited for a regional or international award. If their accomplishments have regional impact, pursue a regional nomination. For achievements with broader, international impact, consider the international nomination.
Step 3 | Review the award criteria to determine the best match for your colleague's accomplishments, including major award categories. A candidate can be nominated for multiple awards at both regional and international levels.
Step 4 | Review eligibility requirements to ensure your candidate will qualify for desired award.
Step 5 | Review the "nomination presentation" for the appropriate award level — international or regional — using the Regional or International navigation buttons below.
Step 6 | Submit your nomination.
Note: Each nomination will require contributors to provide a minimum of one and a maximum of six letter(s) of support, and a CV/Resume (or LinkedIn profile) to be uploaded by the candidate to move into the judging rounds.
