Thank You!
The form you just submitted has been received by the Twenty Under 40 selection team. We appreciate the information provided and will let you know if additional information is needed.
What Happens Next?
Now that you have successfully submitted your nomination form to nominate an outstanding individual in our community, the following happens:
The person you have nominated has or will receive an email letting them know they have been nominated and asking if they would like to move forward in the nomination process. They must then complete their nominee form with all information by the deadline (end of September) in order to be considered for this year’s judging and award.
Note: You may want to check with your nominee to ensure they received the “Congratulations you have been nominated for TwentyUnder40” email and link as some companies filter out/block the email.
After your nominee agrees to continue and completes and returns their nominee form, then our dedicated selection committee swings into action. They meticulously review each nomination, assessing the nominee’s accomplishments, contributions to the community, and overall impact. The selection process is thorough and unbiased, ensuring that every nominee is given fair consideration.
How to Support Your Nominee and What Comes Next?
To maximize the chances of your nominee being recognized and celebrated for their achievements, consider these steps:
- Thorough Nomination: Craft a well-rounded and comprehensive nomination that highlights both professional successes and community contributions.
- Data and Facts: Include quantifiable achievements, awards, and recognitions to provide a complete picture of your nominee’s impact.
- Follow Best Practices: Adhere to the provided best practices for nominations to present your nominee in the best possible light.
- Nominee Acceptance: If your nominee is selected as a finalist, ensure they confirm their commitment to the program and complete their part of the submission process.
- Finalist Party and Awards Event: Encourage your nominee to attend the Nominee Party (September 18th 2024 at Reno Public Market at 5:30pm). You are welcome to join us as well for this nominee mixer and of course we invite all to join us at the prestigious Awards event in January. Your support can make a difference. Please be on the lookout on YPN’s social media pages for the announcement of the Top 40 Nominee’s who are selected and move forward in the awards process (this list should be available in early October 2024).
*Our panel of anonymous community judges will review and score all deidentified nominations (for all nominees who responded and supplied their required information) in October. Following that judging, YPN TwentyUnder40 chairs will contact the top 40 who are chosen to be this year’s class and of whom will move forward in the process and be highlighted at this year’s ceremony event. It is at the ceremony event in January 2025 where the Top 20 and Class of 2024 – Twenty Under 40 will be awarded out of the top 40 in attendance.
