Nominations extended for TOYM awards

NOMINATIONS for The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Awards have been extended to Aug. 31, organizers behind this award institution said on Tuesday.

TOYM Foundation, Inc. cited the extension as being “due to the bulk of nominations that we are receiving.” Thus, online nominations are extended until Aug. 31 and completion of portfolios with supporting documents and requirements until Sept. 15.

The nomination process begins with downloading the offline form for an advance copy of the requirements and information needed for the nomination, followed by nominations online as subject to the TOYM Search Committee’s verification.

Once the nomination is verified, the nominating party will receive an e-mail and may access his or her TOYM Account to build the nominee’s portfolio.

Qualified nominees are Filipinos who inspire the next generation of unselfish leaders, modern day heroes who made unselfish acts for the greater sense of purpose to see the country better, and ordinary men and women who made extraordinary contributions to society and to unite our communities through positive change.

Now on its 58th year, the TOYM Awards are an annual undertaking of JCI Philippines and co-sponsored by PLDT, the Gerry Roxas Foundation, Inc., and TOYM Foundation, Inc. For more information, check out the webpage and also follow the TOYM Facebook page.
