Who can be an AIP Ambassador/Nominator?
Ambassadors/Nominator can be representatives of organizations, universities, research institutes, private sector, government departments or any other organization from north or south with an interest in the Canadian Arctic.
Some organizations are invited by the Arctic Inspiration Prize office to act as Ambassador/Nominator who champion the Prize in their respected regions and/or fields. The Prize aims to have Ambassadors/Nominators covering all geographical and thematic areas of the Prize.
Can Ambassador/Nominator nominate more than one team?
Yes! Ambassadors/Nominators may submit more than one nomination for any given year. Note that Ambassadors/Nominators must be arms-length from the project they are nominating (they must not be team members, belong to organizations or groups connected to the project, nor be in any way connected to the activities, outputs, funding or management/administration of the proposed plan). Acting as an Ambassador/Nominator does not prevent an organization from being part of a project team nominated by another Ambassador/Nominator.
