U.S. high school students in 9th through 12th grades are eligible to win the award.[3] Students may nominate themselves, or students may be nominated by others. To submit a nomination, students must select three of 10 attributes and write a blurb about each attribute.[4] The 10 attributes are arts, athletics, academics, faith, government, green, community service, technology, work, and other.[5] Nominations are judged on their three attributes by current or former teachers, guidance counselors or school administrators.[6]
