SAIs should ensure gender representation in their nominations (e.g. if there are four nominations, at least two should be female), fostering an inclusive environment that reflects the diversity and strengths of our community. Gender balance is part of the criteria in accepting the nominations from the SAI.

The nomination should be submitted by the SAI using the nomination link. SAI nomination needs to be supported by the following:
