Industry Excellence Awards 2009

NOMINATIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED

Who can make a nomination?

Anybody, anywhere can nominate any number of individuals or organisations for an activity/initiative performed in the field of translating and interpreting. You could be a member of the public who was exposed to a translating/interpreting service that you feel merits recognition, or you could be working in business, the government, legal, education, or health sectors where you may have come across an outstanding translating/interpreting performance. You could also make a nomination as a colleague, client, or agency staff member.

If you have nominated an initiative/activity undertaken by another individual/team or organisation, you have helped to ensure that high standards are rewarded and hopefully adopted by others. By making a third party nomination you may also benefit in other ways, e.g. if applicable your name or your company may be acknowledged if the submission is successful.
