Award Criteria
The Luminary of the Year Award recognizes an exceptional individual or team whose passion, dedication, and contributions have made a meaningful impact on the tourism industry in Ontario's Southwest.
This award celebrates those who go above and beyond to make a difference, whether through leadership, innovation, collaboration, mentorship, or an unwavering commitment to strengthening our region's tourism industry.
Greatness isn't defined by a job title or years of experience. Nominees may be at any stage of their career and at any level within an organization. What matters most is the positive impact they've made, the passion they bring to their work, and the way they inspire those around them.
Nominating someone? We know you may not have their full career history or know every detail of their accomplishments, and that's okay! Share what makes this individual or team deserving of recognition, and Ontario's Southwest will follow up with the nominee directly for any additional information needed.
