Every emergency service is powered by individuals who go the extra mile, often without recognition. At ESS 2025, we wanted to change that.

Nominate a colleague, teammate or professional who has made a meaningful difference - whether through courage, compassion, leadership or unwavering service.

How it Works

Nominate a colleague, teammate, or peer who deserves recognition. Nominations are open to all registered ESS attendees.

Tell us their story, whether it's a big moment of bravery or a quiet act of everyday dedication. Every story counts.

We’ll shine a spotlight on all nominees during a special celebration at ESS 2025.

Nominate Now

Know someone who always goes above and beyond? Now’s your chance to say thank you.

Fill out a short form to tell us who they are and why they deserve recognition as one of our Unsung Heroes.

It only takes a few minutes to give someone the recognition they’ll never forget.
