Each social share from a nomination’s profile page counts as one vote toward the Community Choice Award. Here’s how:
- Open the nomination page — Find your favorite nomination in the searchable directory.
- Use the social share buttons — On the nomination profile page, find the social sharing buttons on the upper right side. Click to share to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, or any channel you prefer. Every completed share from the nomination page counts as one vote.
- Add your nomination banner (optional but recommended) — After your nomination is approved, you will receive a branded banner image by email. When the social share window opens, upload or paste that banner into your post before publishing. This helps the nomination stand out in feeds and increases engagement.
- Ask your network to share as well — Shares only count as votes when made using the social buttons on the nomination page itself.
For nominees: posting more than once at different times of day helps reach more of your audience. A short note on why your team, product, or company deserves recognition often increases engagement.
Sample social post language:
- “Proud of what our team delivered this year. Grateful for your support.”
- “Honored to be recognized for our work on cybersecurity innovation.”
- “This nomination reflects the effort the whole team puts in every day.”
- “Thanks to our customers and partners who help us push the field forward.”
