\n Process\n

Nominations never close. Decisions happen once a quarter.

\n 01\n

Nominate — anytime

Nominations are open year-round. Anyone across the organization — not just the design team — can nominate a designer, for any category, based on any project(s).

\n 02\n

Panel decides — 10th of the quarter's final month

The panel reviews every nomination submitted that quarter, along with its scores, and decides the winner in each category.

\n 03\n

Winners announced — 1st of the next quarter

Results are shared at the start of the new quarter, alongside the next round of open nominations.

\n\n

\n Before you nominate or review\n

A few ground rules

Review only work you personally observed this quarter.
A nomination can rest on one standout project or several.
Score demonstrated behaviors — not potential.
Leave tenure, personality, and visibility out of it.
