The nomination process for the Benefit Manager of the Year® Awards has gone digital. You can now fill out the entry form and upload files directly to this online submission form.

As the nominator, once you log into the system, you will have the ability to peruse the entry form to review what is being asked. This gives you the opportunity to gather the information and, when you're ready, cut and paste it into the online form. You do not need to fill out the entire form at one time.

When starting a submission for the first time, you will create a user profile, which will prompt you to create a password. This will allow you to re-enter the system and continue to fill out the nomination form before officially submitting it for judging. As you are filling out the form, hit the save button at the bottom of the page. When your nomination form is complete and you are ready to submit it, click "Save and Finalize" on the last page. The system will notify you if there are any mandatory fields that were left blank.

Please take a look around the site and review the rules and frequently asked questions.

If you have any questions about the process, please contact Gavin Souter, editor of Business Insurance, at gsouter@businessinsurance.com or 312-649-5482.
