If you are submitting a nomination on behalf of another member, we recommend clicking the Manage Collaborators button (below this field) to add your nominee to the form. 

• Your collaborators will receive an automated email that contains a link to the additional form. They will be prompted to sign in to their Submittable account (or create one if necessary). They can also return to the form later.
• A pending invitation means that the collaborator has not yet accessed the additional form.
• If your collaborators are not receiving the invitation, be sure you have the correct email address, and ask them to safelist Submittable's notification email address and check their spam folders.
• Only the original nominator can submit the form and submitters will receive a notification. Submitters and collaborators must communicate about progress outside of the platform, except for the one-way message that the submitter can send through the Manage Collaborators tool.
