Frequently Asked Questions

Suggestions

To make the submission process go smoother for you

  • Before you start completing your nomination application online, type it in a separate word processing document then copy and paste into our form. This gives you the most control of the content and access to tools that can spell check and correct grammatical errors.

 

  • Locate the image you plan to use on your computer or phone and use the highest resolution image that you can. We will do our best to make this process simple and fast for you. Our team will do everything possible to use your image but if the resolution is too low we might not be able to use it. 
What’s the criteria?

A: Has the grandparent had a positive impact on his grandchildren and family? Can you describe that feeling or contribution in your own words, in 1 page or less. It should be personal and makes the nominee feel appreciated and special, that what they did or are doing matters.

We say, “when you write something, they should feel something”.  

Can I submit nominations for all my grandparents?

A: Most Halls of Fames are about recognizing individual accomplishments; for that reason grandparents cannot be inducted into the hall as a couple but as two individuals who made separate and distinct contributions to their grandchildren’s lives. Each nomination must have a personal story to demonstrate that they “Earned It”.

With that being said, you can nominate as many grandparents as you want.

Can I submit a nomination posthumously?

A: Absolutely. They may have left before us but they will never leave us. Do so that others (family, friends, strangers) know that you had loving grandparents who impacted your life.

What happens after I complete the application?

A: After our compliance review you will receive an email notice once the application has been accepted and details on when the induction certificate will be mailed out to you.

Will you offer more than just the induction plaques?

A: Yes. We offer branded “Swag and Brag Gear” such as apparel, jewelry, and novelty items in our e-shop.

My Grandfather's birthday is in two days, can I get the plaque sooner?

A: Even though we will do our best to ship your plaque as soon as possible, shipping times will depend on the postal service and the destination. However, we don’t want you to miss out on the opportunity to honor your grandparent, that’s why A DOWNLOADABLE INDUCTION CERTIFICATE is available upon registration.
