+  <summary><b>Q: What should I do if I receive an email from the Awards committee that (someone) has nominated me?</b></summary>
+    A: If someone else nominates you, the Awards committee will send you an email asking you to fill out the self-nomination form. Please proceed to fill out the application form, select 'self-nomination,' and enter the required details.

+  <summary><b>Q: Are there 'extra points' when someone else nominates me vs. self nomination? </b></summary>
+    A: There are no 'extra points' whether you self-nominate or if someone else suggests your name (and then you are contacted by the Awards committee to fill out the self-nomination form). Regardless of the approach, all candidates must eventually fill out the self-nomination form and state why they are deserving candidates for the award - This is to ensure that the process is fair whether candidates are self-nominated or recommended by others. So, we encourage you to nominate yourself.
