The window for nominating worthy NEFAR members to be recognized with awards during NEFAR’s annual Installation and Awards Gala has changed.
Instead of nominations opening for two months in early fall, NEFAR will now accept electronic nominations throughout the year starting at 8 a.m., Friday, February 14, 2025, and closing at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 17, 2025.
NEFAR’s annual Installation and Awards Gala is being held in January 2026 at a time and place to be announced. The awards ceremony allows NEFAR the opportunity to express its gratitude and recognize members for their exemplary support of the association and the community it serves.
Also new this year, nominees will be informed immediately once the nomination is received by NEFAR. All nominees are urged to attend the Installation and Awards ceremony in person. The nominees will not be told who the NEFAR member was who submitted the nomination. As in the past, all award winners will be selected by the NEFAR Awards Task Force through a blind selection process.
As in the past, NEFAR members may nominate deserving REALTORS® and colleagues for awards in 13 categories. Members are asked to submit their nominations electronically. Once a nomination is received, a confirmation letter will be sent to the person placing the nomination by Marcia Hodgson, NEFAR Senior Writer and Editor. This serves as a notification that the nomination was received.
Once the deadline to receive nominations is closed, an Awards Task Force, comprised of a diverse group of NEFAR REALTORS® from throughout Northeast Florida, will review the submitted nominations, which are presented to them in a blind format. Task Force members will then choose the winners according to the award criteria and the information submitted on the nomination form.
Prior to submitting a nomination, please carefully review the criteria for each award and submit the nomination here.
