Oticon Focus on People AwardsWe're looking for a few great role models! Do you know a person with hearing loss who is a role model for others? Nominate someone you know and admire for the Oticon Focus on People Awards - they could win a $1000 prize and $1000 for their favorite cause. Take a few minutes to recognize someone who is showing the world that hearing loss does not limit a person's ability to live a full and productive life. Since 1996, the Oticon Focus on People Awards have recognized and rewarded people with hearing loss who defy negative perceptions that hearing loss limits a person's ability to make a difference. We invite you to tell us about someone with hearing loss that you know whose achievements and contributions make them a role model for all. Prizes Awarded in Five Categories Winners will be selected in five categories: student, adult, advocacy, practitioner and pediatric practitioner. Prizes will be awarded to three top nominees in each category. First prize is $1000 and a $1000 donation from Oticon to the winner's favorite charity; second prize is $500 and third prize is $250. (Hearing care professionals nominated for this award need not be hearing impaired themselves) Oticon will honor each nominee with a Certificate of Recognition. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel made up of leading hearing care professionals. What the Judges Look For A person with any degree of hearing loss from mild to profound... Ideal nominees are people who acknowledge their hearing loss, have taken positive action to address it (for example, by wearing hearing devices) and have gone on to achieve or contribute to their families, communities or the world in extraordinary ways. You Can Nominate an Outstanding Person with Hearing Loss Deadline for entries: September 8 |
