I WAS SELECTED AS A CREDIT UNION TIMES 2023 LUMINARIES FINALIST AND/OR WINNER.
CAN I APPLY AGAIN THIS YEAR?

To avoid redundancy, we aim to vary the Luminaries winners that we profile from
year-to-year, however, you may nominate a 2023 Luminaries finalist by including
updated details that do not mirror previous accomplishments or testimonies.
Candidates that were honored as 2023 Luminaries winners may be nominated once
again this year in a separate category from which they were previously
recognized.

WHAT IF MY NOMINEE ASSUMES A NEW ROLE WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY AFTER THE
SUBMISSION DEADLINE?

By submitting a nomination, you are agreeing that should your nominee be
selected as a 2024 Luminaries finalist, Credit Union Times has the right to
consider them as a 2024 Luminaries winner, regardless of whether or not the
nominee has changed companies by the time of publication. That said, for
accuracy purposes, you may reach out to Michael Ogden regarding a small update
to the honoree’s bio, stating that they have since taken on a new role.

HOW DOES THE JUDGING PROCESS WORK?

Upon the submission deadline, Credit Union Times’ team of judges carefully
reviews each nomination without bias. The judges work diligently to select the
industry’s most influential individuals, teams, projects and organizations
across a variety of backgrounds and expertise. Per editorial policy, we never
subject to a pay-to-play judging model. The judges consider each nominee's
different accomplishments and contributions and base their decisions on an array
of factors in correlation with the awards’ criteria. You may view more
information on the judging process here.

HOW DO I INCREASE MY CHANCES OF BEING SELECTED?

Be as descriptive yet concise as possible. Provide details on why you think your
nominee should be chosen as a Credit Union Times Luminary, but leave out the
fluff, like marketing content and self-congratulatory comments. Don’t hide the
items of importance within pages of trivialities. Support your entry and
statements with backup information — we love facts and figures.
