How to Nominate:

Nominations for the Quetglas Award until the due date.
Fundación OSOVI encourages everyone who knows someone who changes the lives of the most vulnerable and truly makes a difference in our society to pay tribute to them by nominating them for the Quetglas Award.
It could be someone whose dedication has directly impacted your life.
Perhaps it’s someone in your community whose personal story and commitment to serving others inspire you to follow their example.
You don’t need to know the nominee personally, but you must be familiar enough with their work and achievements to nominate them.
Nominating someone is easy, but if you want your nominee to stand out among the many submissions, take the time to craft a thoughtful and well-written nomination.
Here are some suggestions to assist you in preparing your nomination:
- Reflect on the actions that make your nominee special: Ask yourself, What makes them unique? What specific achievements have they accomplished that are truly extraordinary? How does their work impact the lives of others?
- Review our nomination form and the official guidelines before you begin.
  o Share detailed information about your nominee: Take your time and write from the heart. What you share, in your own words, is the most critical factor for the jury’s consideration.
  o Draft your responses in a Word document first, in case of technical issues during the form submission, so you don’t need to rewrite everything.
