Award Criteria
The dotCoop Global Awards for Cooperative Excellence are open to
all cooperatives and to organizations of cooperatives. In
addition, organizations that are dedicated to serving cooperatives
are eligible for the organizational prize.
The Award Criteria focus on the very specific items that
illustrate your focus on merging a successful business or
organization with cooperative values and principles. Although
the format asks for very specific examples of these activities, we
encourage each entrant to provide examples of related activities
through links to information on your web site or attachments.
All attachments must be limited to 500 words each.
Submission in English is encouraged but not required.
Non-English entries will be translated for our judges using
automated tools. Exact translation of your information is not
guaranteed. If possible, you may want to provide a translation in
English.
