The nomination window for SIARA 2024 spans from September 5th to November 15th, 2023.

Nominations should spotlight the organization’s notable achievements within the past two years, specifically those directed towards enhancing the lives and communities of refugees. Showcase outstanding contributions that address refugee concerns, delve into challenges overcome and gaps addressed, detail advocacy efforts and policy impacts related to refugees, and elaborate on the influence of the organization's work on displaced individuals. Also, describe how the award would shape the organization's future and path.

Nominations are restricted to licensed non-profit organizations, which also have the opportunity for self-nomination. However, individual nominations are not accepted

You are eligible to nominate an organization if you have been involved as its founder, board member, employee, beneficiary, or partner. Furthermore, nominations are also welcomed for organizations whose impactful efforts for refugees and displaced individuals you have personally observed

After submitting the nomination form, you will receive a confirmation email confirming the receipt of your submission. Following this, the nomination will go through an evaluation process. If required, you may be contacted to provide additional supporting documents. The winner will receive notification between May and June 2024.

You are encouraged to nominate eligible organizations whose projects showcase remarkable refugee support efforts. It's important to note that the organization itself must be the nominee.

There are no limitations on the number of organizations you can nominate as a nominator. Your nominations can encompass various organizations that meet the eligibility criteria.

Nominees can include local offices or member entities of parent organizations that fall within the award's geographical regions. However, the selection committee may need to engage with the main office of the organization.

No, the evaluation process is not contingent on the number of countries where your organization operates. Grassroots and local organizations are encouraged to submit their applications.

Regrettably, projects associated with larger organizations, even if they operate with their own budget, are ineligible for SIARA. The organization as a whole must be the nominated entity.

If several individuals intend to nominate your organization, encourage them to proceed. There is no fixed limit on the number of nominators per organization. However, please ensure that each nominator provides relevant supporting information and documents.

In the first round of review, which takes place from December 2023 to February 2024, all submitted nominations are assessed. Shortlisted organizations in the final review, occurring between March and April 2024, will be contacted for additional information and might be requested to facilitate visits by the selection committee.

As a finalist, you will be contacted for information during March and April 2024. Once the decision is reached, the top three finalists will be informed of the winner via email before the ceremony in May or June 2024.
