Diamond Collar Awards Nomination Form

2025 UPDATE: Beginning this year, to recognize the amazing acts of heroism within our OHS community, Diamond Collar nominations are open exclusively to OHS staff and volunteers.

WHAT MAKES A HERO? While we think ALL of our staff and volunteers are heroes, please keep in mind that we are looking for nominations for people, animals, or businesses who have performed especially incredible, noteworthy acts. Three individual and two corporate awards will be presented at the event.

Hero nominations close on October 17, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.
