Each award has different requirements and judging criteria. Click here to view the 2023 Zenith Awards Guidelines which includes the full list of awards and includes the requirements and guidelines for submitting a nomination and information on the judging process.

NEW THIS YEAR! The same form will be used for all nominations and the nominator will receive an instant confirmation email after the nomination has been submitted. All nominations must be submitted using this nomination form.

Nominees will be required to submit a video to be used for judging. Click here to view the nominee video guidelines. Nominee videos are due Friday, September 22, 2023 (nominees for Supplier awards have until October 6). If a property management individual nominee is overwhelmed by the idea of creating a video, they can schedule a time to come in to the TAA office and have an interview recorded for them to use for their video submission.  The interview will be recorded in one take, and there will not be any video editing services, however this is a great option for a nominee who is feeling overwhelmed by the fact that they will have to create and submit a video for their nomination.
