WHAT ARE SOME TIPS TO GET
ME STARTED ON MY NOMINATION STORY?
Think about what your story
is really about. Ask yourself:
"Why am I telling this story?"
Understanding
the "why" behind your story and how it relates
to the "who," "what," "where," and
"when" will help you craft a meaningful story about your community.
Make it
easy for readers to relate to your community. Let your
words paint a picture of your community. Create vivid imagery by incorporating
language that appeals to the five senses: touch, taste, hearing, sight and
smell.
Bring us
into your world. Provide explanations for any acronyms and
language references you use that are specific to your community.
If submitting a video:
Your video should not exceed 2 minutes and must answer all of the three (3)
questions below:
1.
Tell
us about your community's spirit as well as its passion for hockey. Can you
describe or explain examples of how this came to life?
2.
Tell
us about your arena. Why is it important to you, your family, and your
community?
3.
Explain
how your community will use the $250,000 to upgrade and improve your arena.
WHY
SHOULD I WRITE A NOMINATION?
Photos and notes on
your Community Rally Page are definitely welcome, but nomination stories are
the most important piece of this competition! We want to hear from you, in
your own words, why your Arena is important to your community and why it
deserves to win the Grand Prize.
Keep in mind, nomination stories individually count for 80% of your arena or
community’s total score.
HOW IS THE
TOP 4 DETERMINED? WHAT ARE THE JUDGING CRITERIA?
During the Judging
Phase, all story submissions will be judged by a panel of representatives from
the Sponsor, NHL, and NHLPA. The criteria the story is judged on is as follows:

Depiction
of the nominated community's spirit and passion for hockey (50%)
2.
Description
of the Arena's importance to you, your family and your community (25%)
3.
