+OpenTelemetry is a community-driven project, fueled by a group of awesome humans
+who are actively revolutionizing the field of observability with their
+contributions. Whether it's through code, documentation, project management,
+outreach, adoption, or simply helping others answer technical questions on our
+[CNCF Slack](https://slack.cncf.io/), we want to recognize these contributions
+and the people behind them -- because we're all human, and we all like that warm
+fuzzy feeling of appreciation.
+
+We are thrilled to announce the first-ever **OpenTelemetry Community Awards**!
+This is your chance to nominate individuals who have made a notable impact to
+OpenTelemetry over the past year. _Everyone_ can nominate _anyone_ in the
+community, be they a contributor, end-user, or community member.
+
+Submit nominations using
+[this Google Form](https://forms.gle/ioqFNmDhKNYYAtRs7).
+
+Although we require sign-in to ensure only one form submission per person,
+nominations are completely anonymous. You can nominate up to five people per
+submission, and nominations will be open **until midnight UTC on November 8th,
+2024**. Winners will be announced at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North
+America 2024.
