Judging:
Neither the Province of British Columbia Employees nor elected representatives will have involvement in, or influence over, the selection of nominees or recipients. An independent selection panel with expertise in multiculturalism and anti-racism will follow assessment guidelines to evaluate all the nominees. The process of evaluating nominees and selecting recipients is at the discretion of the independent selection panel. The selection panel has the option of not making an award in all categories. In reviewing the nominations, the judges will consider the contributions and achievements in regards to:
- Raising awareness of diversity, multiculturalism and anti-racism issues;
- Promoting respect and inclusion and bringing diverse cultures together and addressing racism;
- Creating a welcoming environment; and
- The use of the award money to further advance multiculturalism in British Columbia (Youth category).
Nominees and award recipients:
Award nominees in all four categories will be honoured with a certificate. One nominee in each category will be selected as a recipient by the panel of judges and will receive a trophy. In addition, the recipient of the youth category will be awarded with $5000 to be donated to a not-for-profit organization of their choice to further advance multiculturalism and anti-racism objectives in BC. Award money is not intended for individual gain. The selected organization must be a registered non-profit society or charity and must be active in British Columbia.
A nominee cannot be nominated in more than one category in any one year. All nominees and their nominators agree that the applicant information may be used for publicity purposes. Nominees agree to be photographed for publicity purposes.
