CNN, the US-based international television network is seeking nominations for its 2010 CNN Heroes competition, which is held annually to recognize individuals who have made contributions and inspired others.

Although the areas or fields of their contributions have not been specified, CNN offers the following information for nominators to help them make the nominations:

* “Think about what makes your hero special. Ask yourself: What makes my nominee unique? What specific accomplishment has he or she achieved that is truly remarkable? What impact has their work had on others? We encourage you to watch videos of previous CNN Heroes to familiarize yourself with the achievements of the inspiring individuals we honor as “everyday people changing the world.”
* Take a look at our nomination form. We suggest you review the information requested about yourself, your nominee and their work before filling out your submission.
* Tell us about your hero! Take your time and write from the heart. Remember: What you share — in your own words — is the most important factor in advancing a nomination for further consideration. You can enter your answers to the essay questions directly on the form, or write them first in a word-processing document and “cut-and-paste” them into each answer field. Please note that the information you provide will be used in accordance with our privacy policy.”
