Tips
 Avoid nominations of people whose actions are only filling requirements within their job descriptions.
 Outstanding work alone is not enough; it has to be related to combating hate.
 This award is not a lifetime achievement award; it is for extraordinary achievement during a specific time.
 The Sherwood Prize is also intended for the individual or team actually making the impact on the community, not the supervisors or chiefs.
