Since this is the first time to get ready to nominate myself this year for IBM Champion title I have  some few questions which are grey for me right now.

1- I report my advocacies day by day, so should I report them all again in the nomination?

2- Is there a number of advocacies that I should achieve as an IBM Business Partner like the IBM Rising champion influencer badge.

3- I read about being nominated by 3 IBM Champions or IBMers and I don't have till now 3 to nominate me , so thats a something that increase your chances or a must do thing

I apperciate your help and time.

Some good questions here , I think 8 is a target to aim for and you can report more but I don't think you need to report 30 or 40 ? With the referrals, do you have anyone in your network that knows you and is a Champion already? I don't think it is a must-do thing. The Champions team will make their decision on their own validation I guess ? Let's see if anyone can answer that for definite ?

Hello Omar, 

agree with Andrew, I don't think it be a must-do thing but probably could help if someone could give any references about you.

Anyway, I have to confess that I did nominated myself last year, and it worked for me.

Good luck! If you work hard, you will get it :-)
