Detailed Nomination Form

Please review our FAQ and category descriptions to pick the category (or categories) where your metrics best suit the questions. **You may submit in multiple categories**. Check all categories that apply. For example, a clean tech product manufacturer could be recognized for either the impact of their technology (Clean Tech) or the process by which they manufactured their products (Manufacturing & Transportation). Please note: ONLY ENGOs, registered charities and NFPs, whose primary function is driving system change, will be considered in the ADVOCATES category. If you independently advocate for ideas, respond in Education / Though Leaders. If you are employed by an organization, RESPOND IN THE CATEGORY (CATEGORIES) THAT BEST DESCRIBE THE **ORGANIZATION**. One exception: if you are employed at an educational institution but not educating students, respond in either SERVICES (for general sustainability roles) or BUILDINGS, depending on the focus of your results.

Examples of collaboration might include taking a phone call from a fellow member of the Clean50, making an introduction for an emerging leader, or responding to a request for assistance from a Clean50 member or the Clean50 itself. All requests are reasonable.

All honourees are provided with the opportunity to tell more of their story – but also required to commit to preparing a 1,000 to 1,500 word article, to be submitted within 60 days of their being advised of their selection, that describes in detail some element of the reason for which they were honoured, or demonstrates thought / policy leadership – or provides useful advice to others. The nature of this article will vary with the category – but will subsequently be linked to the honouree’s profile – and appear on a “Articles” / news page on the Clean50 website. Can the nominee accept this responsibility?

All team members will be invited to attend the Summit. The team lead is expected to do so, and Delta covers the cost of that. Other team members may also attend, but are responsible for paying to do so, expected to be $~650 for the day.

There is no cost whatsoever to be considered or named to the Clean50, nor to attend the Summit (for an individual or the first member of a team) . All of those costs are covered by lead sponsor and award founder and steward Delta Management Group, together with our Clean50 Partners. There is however an obligation to execute a license agreement upon winning. In a nutshell, the license enables winners to share news of their win on PERSONAL social media (Facebook and Linked In for example) at absolutely no charge and without use of the Clean50 logo. If the Honouree’s employer wishes to publicly acknowledge the Honouree’s award in a way designed to promote the organization and / or the Honouree, the organization is then required to help support the work of the Clean50 by paying a small one time fee ranging from between $100 for an ENGO to $1,500 for a for profit corporation. There is absolutely no obligation to do so unless the Employer wishes to promote the Honouree’s win. There is an obligation for the Honouree to acknowledge those conditions upon accepting the Award, and sign a license to that effect.

Each year the GLOBE and MAIL publishes a series of Clean50 special pages in the Report on Business, coincidental with pictures of the Clean50 Winners. These appear to coincide with Earth Week (Earth Day = April 22). The content feature stories proposed by Clean50 winners and the space allocated for each story is proportional to the size of advertisement purchased by the Honouree’s organization. (Examples can be found on the Clean50 website). Costs are steeply discounted and result in effect 1.5 x the space in total at half the price of the Globe’s usual cost for the same size of advertisement. Ads typically run on different days than the story appears. lending the story more credibility. Costs typically run from between 5K (for a smaller advert and being covered in an article shared with other winners) to 25K for a full page advert and 3/4 page story / content. Neither Delta nor the Clean50 receive any commissions or payment whatsoever from the Globe – but we support the effort as it raises awareness of Clean50 Honourees and their fine work.

Every year, the Clean50 team is perpetually amazed at the photographs submitted by nominees that fail to meet these fairly simple (we thought) criteria. And so we ask nominees to read and attest to their understanding of this statement: I will forward a PASSPORT-LIKE photograph of myself of at least 1000 x 1400 pixels resolution to Clean50photos@deltamanagement.com by August 1st. And… ** Because I am someone who can follow directions, the content of the picture I send will have my HEAD make up at least 75% of the pixels. from approximately my throat up, with composition closely MATCHING those of those already on the Clean50 website. ** It will be well lit. It will be in focus. It will not have been taken by my friend using my Iphone (because that wide angle lens will distort my features and make my nose look big). It will NOT be of my torso, nor of me standing with my arms folded etc etc. (because then it would not be ~ 75% head) nor will it be a pic with a pipe or a tree or a vent or lights or an escalator or any other object appearing to come out of my head, vertically, diagonally, or horizontally, like failed attempts made before me by others. It may include (if I have one) my beard, turban, as much hair as I want to show. or any other feature I consider part of my identity: what makes me, me, but I will bear in mind that including longer hair (i.e. half way down my chest) may then make my head / face appear smaller than that of my fellow honourees, should I make the list., when appearing in the Globe and Mail, so I will crop accordingly, understanding those limitations. I will not be in a baseball cap nor a hipster hat, nor any other headgear not usually part of my identity (because that would not be passport-like). I have copied these instructions and I will follow them! If this is a team nomination, I will ensure we ALL send both individual pics for each team member (as per above) AND ALSO a team picture that is also 5×7 in proportion (portrait mode) and also with a resolution of at least 1000 x 1400. If I am unsure as to what any of this means I will email for further instructions, or I will forward these instructions to my comms team, who will then follow them**. *** I realize that the Clean50 team will judge me on my ability to follow and comply with these simple instructions, and because I want to be a member of the Clean50, I will do my very best to actually read, understand and follow them!! ***
