A CNN Hero’s journey to global recognition begins with a nomination by someone who’s been touched by their efforts and want to share their story with the world.
Nominations must be in the name of a single individual, at least 13 years of age, whose accomplishment occurred (or continued) after September 1, 2011. Nominees in the “Young Wonder” category must be 25 years of age or younger. Groups and organizations are ineligible for consideration. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Citizens of voided countries are also ineligible.
The candidates applying for the awards should possess extraordinary qualities.
Moreover, they should be prepared for following questions:
- What specific accomplishment has he or she achieved that is truly remarkable?
- What impact has their work had on others?
Nominations for 2012 CNN Heroes remain open through August 31, 2012.
