COMMON QUESTIONS

WHO CAN I NOMINATE?

Nominations can be made for any high school student-athlete (grades 9-12) or coach, male or female, in any sport, from any state around the country! You can nominate as many Positive Athletes and Coaches as you would like, as there are probably many at your school!

WHO CAN NOMINATE?

Any adult can nominate! Most of our nominations come from coaches, parents, administrators, teachers, fans and community members. We encourage schools to share our information out to their school communities so that no young person is overlooked for our awards an scholarships!

WHEN CAN I NOMINATE?

Our Nominations Window opens up every year from Early September through April 15th. Once the nominations window closes, we will move into our awards season where awards and scholarships will be determined throughout our markets.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Once a nomination is made, that nominee is automatically eligible for all applicable awards and scholarships based on their sport(s) categories, location and story. We will follow up with the nominee through email to get them registered for our new mobile & web app so that the nominee can complete their profile.
