Notes:
Essays may be as long or as short as applicants/nominees feel necessary to support their candidacy.​
Applicants/nominees shall be assessed on how well they meet the following criteria. These are the same characteristics, traits & attributes the GGFG expects of its soldiers, however, the regiment believes they are equally applicable in civilian life:
​
- ​​Pursuit of excellence
- Going above and beyond
- ​Overcoming adversity
- Drive and determination
- ​Pride of service to the community and country
​​​
It would be helpful if candidates were to indicate how they would use their award if they were to win (i.e. university tuition, trades training or other productive use).
​​
In the event several applications/nominations are close in quality, the Committee will arrange interviews (as necessary) to act as a “tie-breaker”.
Questions related to any aspect of the Applications/Nominations process may be directed to the GGFG Youth Achievement Awards Committee at ggfgyouthawards@gmail.com up to 72 hours before the submission deadline.
