The portal allows you to edit, change, or add more information or more nominations.

Once you have made a nomination you should receive confirmation that it has been received. You can then submit more nominations for other categories or log out and come back again when you wish to make more nominations or edit the existing nominations.

If you have any problems, please submit queries to themediadoctor@aol.com

Please ensure that Nominations are limited to 1 entry per category, in the event of a nominee being nominated twice for the same category the nominee will be asked for their preference as to which nomination goes forward for judging. The reason to limiting nominations to one per category is twofold. Firstly, it is to ensure the judges are presented with the very best work. Secondly on previous occasions, when two nominations per category were allowed, this resulted in the judges’ votes being split between the two nominations and the nominee losing out when the scores were compiled.

Deadline for Nominations

The closing date for nominations is Friday 5^th July 2024
