Process

Nomination Procedure
-
Complete a candidate nomination form.
-
The nominee’s biography should include the candidate’s marathon swimming/contribution history and clearly outline why the candidate should be inducted into the IMSHOF or receive an ISHOF Award.
-
Get the official nomination forms (see the next tab "Forms" download and save under a different name on your PC).
4. A member of the Executive Committee (or approved delegate) will perform a "lite" fact check on the completed form
and sign. If a potentially significant question is raised during the voting process – the nominees’ vote will not be
considered until the question is answered. If the result is a nomination less impressive the Executive Committee will
ignore the votes and either roll the corrected nomination to the next year or consider if the offence was Fraud and bar a future nomination.
