The following information is a guide on how to nominate in the 2024 Australian Corporate Lawyers Awards, and the stages your nomination will proceed through.
Who can nominate?
Anyone can be nominated in a category for which they are eligible. You do not have to be an ACC member to be nominated. You can self-nominate or nominate another party. This means all persons with legal qualifications who are employed by corporate, government or semi-government bodies, including statutory corporations in Australia.
Award judges and their organisations are not eligible for nomination. Members of the ACC Australia Board of Directors and Divisional Committee office holders are not eligible for individual awards, but they may be members of an award-winning team.

Judges will excuse themselves in the case of any nominations presenting a perceived conflict of interest, and a new judge will be appointed.
