Tips & Tools for Preparing Your Entry
Nominees will be evaluated solely on the criteria listed for each
Transitions Innovation Award. In evaluating nominees, Transitions will give
no consideration to the volume or value of past, current, or anticipated
business generated by the nominee for Transitions or any of its affiliates.
Similarly, selection as a Transitions Innovation Award finalist or winner
does not impose any obligation to purchase, order, arrange for, or recommend
any products or services from Transitions or any of its affiliates.
Nominees are welcome to enter more than one category if eligible and can
self-enter, or can be nominated by a lab, lens manufacturer, industry
colleague or other industry organization representative. Please submit a
separate entry for each category that you are entering. For additional
information and questions, please contact Transitions Customer Service at
cservice@Transitions.com.
