1. Who can nominate a project or a firm for an award?
   Anyone on the team can submit a nomination as long as they have approval from the Owner/Sponsor.
2. How do I log in to the system?
   The NAIOP SoCal online nomination system is separate from the NAIOP SoCal website. You will be required to create a login password.
3. Can I make a test submission, or download a printable copy of the form? 
   Of course! Feel free to walk through the system to understand all of the requirements. However, please note that all nominations must be submitted via the online application system by 5 pm Pacific Time on March 8th. Nominations sent by any other means will not be accepted.
4. Do I have to be a NAIOP SoCal member to nominate a project or company?
