Who this template is for
Community Hero Nomination Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in awards, contests & voting.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 3 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 12 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Is the nominee under 18?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Parent or guardian email address”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “May we name the nominee's local area?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Local area or neighbourhood”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Are you attaching a photograph?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Photograph of the nominee”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is the nominee under 18?” is Yes, “Parent or guardian email address” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Do I need the nominee's permission to nominate them?
Not usually to nominate, but you do to publish. This form captures publicity, photograph and area-naming consent separately so nothing is assumed.
Can young people be nominated?
Yes. A yes on the under-18 question opens a guardian email so consent can be confirmed before any public announcement.
What if the nominee declines the publicity?
Judge them anyway and announce with initials or a role description — the consent answers tell you which is allowed.
Can nominations come from outside the area?
Yes, though most schemes require the nominee's activity to be local. Add an eligibility question if your rules are stricter.
Is the Community Hero Nomination Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Community Hero Nomination Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
