2026 Nominations

How Nominations Work

At the SCM Awards, everyone has a voice! Here’s how the nomination process works:

  • Anyone can submit a nomination, and you can nominate as many times as you’d like.

  • If you wish to be nominated, you must first submit your own nomination in the category that best represents your talent or profession.

  • After submitting your own nomination, encourage your friends, family, and supporters to nominate you in the same category — the more nominations you receive, the better your chances of being selected as an official nominee.

  • You may be nominated in multiple categories if your work fits more than one area, but make sure each nomination aligns with the category that truly represents you best.

Your nomination is your first step toward recognition at the SCM Awards — make it count and get your supporters involved!

Be Seen. Be Nominated. Be Legendary. Nominations are Open!
