BEFORE YOU SUBMIT:
We’re standing on business this year when it comes to the intent behind each APEX Award Category. This year’s awards will be a bit more intricate than last year – incorporating a multi-step process and formula to to crown the 2025 APEX Recipients.
We HIGHLY recommend reading all of the category descriptions before submitting your APEX Picks. Each category has specific guidelines & requirements that pertain to THAT award.
Only ONE submission will be accepted per user for each category, HOWEVER, you can nominate the same APEX for multiple categories, IF IT MAKES SENSE!
You must be signed into your Google/Gmail account to access all nomination forms.
**While the forms are open – SUBMISSIONS BEFORE JAN. 1 WILL NOT BE PROCESSED! **
