How to make a nomination

Please submit your entries in the following way:

 

Name of nominee

 

Title of article or publication being nominated including date of publication

 

Key reasons for nomination – no more than 100 words, please explain why the person, article or publication you are nominating deserves to be recognised.

 

Please include and attach articles and supporting documents as pdf or word files

 

If submitting online articles please convert and send as pdf files, this ensures that all nominations will be judged on an equal basis.

 

Please submit all nominations to themediadoctor@aol.com and ask for confirmation of receipt

 

 

Nominations are limited to 1 entry per category, in the event of a nominee being nominated twice for the same category the nominee will be asked for their preference as to which nomination goes forward for judging. The reason to limiting nominations to one per category is two fold. Firstly, it is to ensure the judges are presented with the very best work. Secondly on previous occasions, when two nominations per category were allowed, this sometimes resulted in the judges votes being split between the two nominations and the nominee losing out when the scores were added up.

 

Deadline for Nominations

The closing date for nominations is Friday 22nd March 2019 

The Aerospace Media Awards will be presented during the Aerospace Media Dinner on the evening of 16th June at the Aero Club de France, Paris. The evening starts at 6pm with a networking cocktail reception.
