It's inspiring to see how different businesses leverage Sugar to achieve incredible results, and we believe that those stories deserve a spotlight. That's what the Customer Breakthrough Awards are all about!  

However, we know that participation always comes accompanied by guidelines and fine print, and they can sometimes seem daunting. Let’s demystify the “Submission Guidelines and Agreements” found in the nomination form and show you how this is an opportunity you shouldn't miss.

Please note that the customer must give you express consent to be nominated for this award and that in doing so, also agrees to item 6 and 7 above - If a Partner or a Sugar teammate is nominating you, they need your thumbs-up, to make sure nothing is done without proper review and approval.
