Nomination Process
Nominations for the program are submitted by the community to recognize outstanding individuals and organizations in our community. To ensure our selection committees can make well-informed decisions, all nominations should be thorough, well-documented, and thoughtfully prepared. Strong submissions should highlight the nominee’s achievements, contributions, and qualifications in detail, as selections will be based solely on the information provided. Nominations are currently open for the 2026 Medals program.
Important: If you previously nominated someone who was not selected, we strongly encourage you to update and resubmit their nomination. Past nominations are not automatically reconsidered and must be resubmitted to be eligible. However, beginning this year, nominations submitted in the Citizen and Business/Non-Profit categories in 2026 will now be retained for two years (the year of submission plus one additional year). Nominators will be contacted to provide updates as needed. Nominations in the Educator category will not carry over and must be resubmitted each year.
Additionally, previous Upper Dublin Medals winners cannot be honored again in the same category.
Criteria
To be considered, nominated candidates must meet the designated criteria.
Selection Committee
Each selection committee is made up of individuals from various community groups who review all nominations and meet collectively to select the recipient in their category. For the Student Leadership Awards, nominations are solicited from the high school staff through a separate process.
Sponsorship
We're grateful to our 2025 program sponsors. Sponsorship opportunities will be available beginning in late March. Please email Michelle Boas at [email protected] with any questions.
Program Partners
The Upper Dublin Medals Program is presented by Upper Dublin Township, Upper Dublin School District and the Upper Dublin Education Foundation, which benefits from event proceeds.
