The National Book of Records (NBR) follows a structured and transparent nomination process to ensure that only genuine, deserving, and impactful achievements receive recognition.
Many applicants have great achievements but often face difficulty understanding how the nomination process works, what documents are required, and how their profiles are evaluated.
This guide explains the complete award nomination process step by step, helping nominees, institutions, and participants prepare better and submit accurate entries.
NBR accepts both self-nominations and nominations by others.
Nominations can be submitted by:
Individuals for their own achievement
Parents or guardians for children
Schools, colleges, or institutions
Coaches, mentors, or organizers
Government or non-government organizations
This flexibility allows deserving achievements to be recognized even if the achiever does not personally apply.
The first formal step is filling out the official nomination form.
Applicants need to provide:
Full details of the nominee
Award category selection
Clear description of the achievement
Date, location, and nature of accomplishment
Contact details of the nominee and nominators
Accurate and complete information helps avoid delays during screening.
Every nomination must be supported with proper documents.
These include:
Government-issued identity proof
Age proof (if applicable)
Educational or institutional documents
Certificates or awards related to the achievement
Media coverage or supporting references (if available)
Proper documentation strengthens the credibility of the nomination.
To ensure authenticity, nominees must submit clear evidence of their achievement.
This may include:
Unedited video performance
High-resolution photographs
Official certificates or letters
Measurement reports or assessment proofs
Witness confirmations
Evidence must be original, clear, and properly formatted.
After submission, nominations are reviewed by the NBR screening committee.
The committee checks:
Completeness of nomination form
Eligibility under selected category
Authenticity of submitted materials
Alignment with NBR guidelines
Only shortlisted nominations move to the next level of evaluation.
Shortlisted nominations are forwarded to subject experts for detailed review.
Experts evaluate:
Uniqueness of the achievement
Impact and significance
Verifiable measurable data
Difficulty and rarity of the record
Ethical and safety compliance
This ensures that only high-quality and impactful records are selected.
NBR conducts background verification to ensure all information is genuine.
This involves:
Cross-checking records and credentials
Verifying witness statements
Reviewing digital footprints and media references
Confirming event details
Any misrepresentation may lead to disqualification.
After all checks, the final panel reviews the complete nomination file.
The panel decides whether the nomination will be:
Approved
Put on hold for clarification
Rejected due to non-compliance
Candidates may be contacted for clarification or additional details, if required.
Once the decision is finalized, NBR informs the nominee or their representative.
