PLEASE NOTE
The Special Olympics BC (SOBC) awards process has been re-evaluated. Due to a lack of submissions over the past three years, SOBC initiated a change to the submission process. We included many of the recommendations from the locals across BC following the November 2006 Leadership Council meeting.

The following process will be in place, effective immediately.
  1. All registered individuals of Special Olympics BC have the ability to nominate an individual for the President's Award, Howard Carter Award, Spirit of Sport Award and/or Athletic Achievement Award.
    • Note: All nominations must be endorsed by the local before they are submitted to Provincial Office. In instances where the Local Coordinator is nominated, the Regional Coordinator, and/or other executive members can endorse the application.
  2. Instead of two reference letters, Special Olympics BC will only require two contact names (including name, phone number and email address) to be written at the end of the nomination form, in the space provided. These individuals will then be contacted by the Awards selection committee for further information on the short-listed candidates.
  3. Photographs will not be required with the application package. A photograph of the winner for each respective award will be required after the announcement (for both the SOC awards and for newsletter announcements).
  4. All awards submitted will be held over for one additional year, if requested by the nominator.
If you have any questions, regarding this new process, please contact the SOBC Provincial Office.
