Candidate Nomination Process

We encourage the general public to submit the names of their nominees, individuals or organizations who have made a significant contribution to improve lives in African communities via the form at the bottom of this page. Submissions for nominees are open for an entire calendar year, starting from when the previous year's nominees are being evaluated. 

Nominations submitted via the form below will be reviewed by the Review Committee. The eligible ACSA nominee(s) will be notified of their nomination via email and will subsequently be required to submit supporting materials of their community service work to the Committee. 

After receiving the requested information, each candidate's information is re-evaluated to determine if all requirements set forth for the award are met. The nominees that are selected, become award recipients that year. 

The entirety of the process will take several months. Only a certain number of awardees are selected each year.
