Any company in the security industry can be nominated. A judging panel will evaluate all applicants based on the above mentioned criteria and their respective contributions toward social causes.

During the same event, Mission 500 will also present its “Humanitarian Award,” designed to honor individuals in the security industry who make important contributions to those in need. The 2010 recipient, Alan Forman, exemplified this through his involvement with numerous charitable organizations.
