  • Outreach nominees will be screened for eligibility and then from those eligible nominations some nominations will be selected as Contenders to be honored at the Grounds for Hope awards event where they will be invited to be honored guests at the event.

  • Overall finalists and winners will be selected by a panel of independent judges from the contenders and announced at the awards event

  • A Contender does not have to be present to win, but it is highly encouraged!
