●  Two people a year

Nominate
someone

The people this exists for almost never apply. They have spent a career being the one who is fine, and the form asks them to write down that they are not. Somebody who knows them will write it more honestly than they would.

Not a favour and not an intervention. If somebody you know finished the thing they were for, and has not found the next one, tell me who they are.

Before you write anything

You are about to describe somebody who has not asked to be described. So, plainly, what happens to what you write:

— It is never published. There is no public page for a nomination and no way to read one without my key.

— The person you name is never shown what you wrote, and never told who wrote it. If they are approached at all, it is on its own terms.

— Nothing about it reaches the public feed this site publishes for everything else.

— Write about what they have done and what seems to have ended. Do not diagnose them. You are not their doctor and neither am I.

A name. If they are known by another one publicly, give me both.

One line. The thing that made them, in the words anyone would use.

Usually the hardest part, and usually a person rather than an address. A manager, an agent, a sibling, a handle they still read. Leave it blank if you do not know.

The whole nomination is this box. What they did, and what makes you think the thing they were for has finished. A paragraph at least — a line is not enough to act on.

Optional, and often the part that matters. The mission that completed, the thing that stopped, the day after the last one.

I reply to every nomination, including the ones I do nothing with.

This changes how the rest of it reads more than any other answer. A sister is not a stranger on the internet, and neither is disqualifying.
