Eligibility Criteria

  1. Nominees must be members of VAR in good standing.
    2. Nominees should have contributed to a program that improves the livability of a local community. Those activities aren’t limited to real estate or housing issues and may include crime prevention, youth mentoring, and homelessness prevention.
    3. Nominees should have made a significant contribution of personal time, but contributions of money, materials, or other resources will be considered by the judges as well.
    4. Nominees will be judged on the level of personal contribution, the impact of personal contribution, broadness of impact, and the project’s suitability as a role model for other REALTORS®
    5. The award is intended to recognize individual contributions, not the association- or company-wide efforts. However, if an individual within your company can be singled out as instrumental to the success of a group effort, he or she is eligible. In addition, if the achievements of two people (such as a married couple or co-founders of an organization) absolutely cannot be separated, they can enter as a pair, and their entry will be considered one.
    6. Some portion of the Nominee’s community work must have taken place between January 2021 and August 2022. Still, judges will also consider ongoing efforts outside that time frame that demonstrate a depth of commitment.
    7. Nominees should be able to document the results of their involvement through published reports and/or testimonials from the organization they served or the people they helped.
    8. Nominations must be accompanied by a completed entry form to be considered (REALTORS® may nominate themselves or may be nominated by another VAR member, a state or local association, or the community organization they served).
