Categories are in three divisions, Community Service, Corporate Social Responsibility and a combined Community Service and Social Responsibility. There are categories within each division for specific projects and for companies, organizations and individuals. Some of the categories are designated Leadership categories and are more encompassing and require multiple programs and efforts. Judges recognize that there is overlap between categories and that terminology and definitions are often open to interpretation. Judges reserve the right to move a nomination into a different category if they feel it is more appropriate.
Nomination fees for Leadership Categories are $250. All other categories are $125.
