PASA INDUSTRY AWARDS

INDUSTRY AWARDS OVERVIEW

The annual PASA Industry Awards recognises, honours and celebrates the contributions made by PASA Members to the South African payments industry.

The nomination process is internal to PASA where members of the payments community are called on to nominate their peers for their outstanding contributions to payments. Nominations are reviewed and vetted by the PASA Executive Committee and key PASA Management Committee members who are involved in industry projects or initiatives.

NOMINATION RULES AND GUIDELINES

Only projects and initiatives that were delivered in full or with major milestones/deliverables that were fully completed in the nomination period are eligible for nomination.
To nominate multiple candidates or nominate for multiple categories, the nominator must complete multiple nomination forms, as only one candidate and category per nomination form is allowed.
PASA Committees and Structures receive a link to the nomination website in August of the relevant year.
Nominations must be aligned to payments industry work.
Only PASA industry projects/work are eligible for nomination. No other internal organisation projects may be nominated.
People inside the nominator’s own organisation may be nominated as long as the nomination is relevant to PASA industry projects/work.
People from outside the nominator’s own organisation may be nominated as long as the nomination is relevant to PASA industry projects/work.
Individuals/teams may not be nominated for the same deliverable(s) as the previous nomination period. However, individuals/teams may be nominated for the same category as a previous nomination period, provided the reason stated is different from the previous year’s nominations.
Individuals are eligible for nominations in both the individual and team award categories.
The same individual may not be nominated for both the Leadership and Excellence categories.
