How do I save and publish the award?

The Nomination Award will be saved as a Draft.
You can edit it or launch it manually at any time—even before the scheduled start date.
Note: Launching it manually allows users to submit nominations right away.
How do I inform my team about the new Nomination?
Here are two ways to let your team know about the new Nomination award before and after it becomes open and available for submissions:
1. Announce it internally
We recommend using internal communication channels to build awareness and participation for Nomination awards. Example: Company newsletter, Slack channel, or meeting.
Highlight what the award is for and how to submit in Nectar.
Send reminders as the close date approaches.
2. Send a notification through Nectar
Once the Nomination is open and available for submissions:
Go to the Nominations tab and find your award.
Click on the Nomination award.
Click the Send Notification button. This is an email notification only.
Note: Notifications from Nectar can only be sent after the Nomination is open and accepting submissions. This is a manual process — there’s no automation for this step at this time.
