Nomination Process

Nomination Process is Democratic.

The nomination process is a democratic and broad means of determining from the public or community as a whole which individuals, teams or organizations should be recognized for outstanding achievements in sport or distinguished service toward the development of sport.             

Selection and Induction into the Hall of Fame is held every year. 

New nominations are accepted annually to supplement the pre-existing nominations on file.   Nominations remain on file for five years.

All nominations are reviewed annually and inductees are selected based on the criteria and merit.  

The number of inductees to be elected is determined annually by the Board of Directors.

Anyone can make a nomination.

Nominations for induction can be made by anyone, using the appropriate form that is made  available through the Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame. Completed nomination forms may be submitted to the Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame.

It is not necessary to fill out a new nomination form for persons who already have been nominated in a previous year.   Contact us to determine if a pre-existing nomination is on file.
