AWARD ENTRY GUIDELINES

Please prepare a nomination for yourself, or your nominee. Nominations are accepted for any individual who has upheld their role in the computing industry. The categories in awards were selected by the Network Professional Association to establish a base for professionalism and ethics upheld by the industry member. Award nominations are accepted year round.

PLEASE NOTE: A single Award for Professionalism may be awarded in each category or subcategory; all categories may not be awarded. NPA reserves the right to decline any nomination or withhold an award for lack of sufficiency. Individuals and companies may submit nominations in more than one category, however if the same individual is nominated for more than one category, only the first entry or nominee’s choice will be considered. Previously submitted nominations cannot be resubmitted in subsequent years. NPA will notify the submitter receipt of the submission via email.

Winners will be notified approximately 2 weeks before the Awards ceremony. Winners may be asked to provide addition information, media clips, photography or personal presentation for use at the ceremony.
