Frequently asked questions

I'm in the wrong category?

This is the category you were nominted in.

If it isnt correct, please email us to let us know.

centralwestecawards@gmail.com

Am I a finalist?

These are everyone who was nominated in 2026. We announce all nominees so that each person nominated has the chance to be celebrated.

Finalists for each category will be announced on October 9.

I can't see a person that I nominated?

Sometimes a nomination isnt complete or doesnt meet the criteria for that particular award. Another reason could be that we only had a nickame to go by and couldn't find the educator.

These may be the reasons that you don't see their name here.

Do I get a certificate?

Unfortunately, due to the large volume of nominations this year, we will ony be doing certificates for the finalists of each category.
