Rules

1. Visit the official submission page.

2. Upload your submission showcasing your own contributions or nominate someone else (with their permission).

3. Include valid proof of contributions in one or more of the following forms:

• Blog posts or technical articles (links required)
• Stack Overflow, Slack, or Discuss profile links
• Public code projects or demos (e.g., GitHub)
• Merged pull requests in Elastic repositories
• Community-focused video content
• Elastic-focused talks at conferences or meetups

You can nominate yourself only once. You can nominate as many individuals as you would like, but only once each.

• All contributions must be original work and fully owned by the nominee.
• Contributions must be publicly accessible and must not contain offensive, defamatory, or inappropriate content.
• AI-generated content is not permitted. Contributions must not include or be based on generative AI tools.
• Submissions must comply with Elastic's Community Code of Conduct.
• Nominations should be submitted only through the official form. Submissions posted elsewhere or submitted via alternative methods will not be considered.

Elastic reserves the right to reject any nomination that doesn't meet the standards or criteria or that violates community expectations.

The nominations will be reviewed by a panel of Elastic employees and scored based on the following:

1. Quality and impact of contributions

• How helpful, educational, or innovative are the contributions?
• Do the contributions solve real problems and/or introduce new ideas?

2. Engagement and community support

• Does the contributor engage with the community through Q&A, discussions, and contributor support on Elastic channels and social media?

3. Consistency and long-term involvement

• Has the contributor been continually involved with the community over time (not just short-term impact)?
