ABOUT

LIFECHANGER OF THE YEAR AWARDS

We make sure each and every LifeChanger knows how much they’re appreciated. Here’s what happens after you submit your nomination.

  • Each LifeChanger will have a unique profile* built on our website so their story can be shared. Colleagues, students, friends, and family – anyone who supports the nominee – can visit their LifeChanger's profile and leave a comment.

  • We share our LifeChangers’ profiles and stories on social media.

  • Each LifeChanger also receives a personalized certificate.

  • We notify the local press about the amazing LifeChangers in their area.

Most importantly, each LifeChanger has a shot of being selected as one of our LifeChanger of the Year winners - which means a chance for them and their schools or districts to win cash prizes. All cash prizes are provided by National Life Group’s charitable arm, the National Life Foundation.
