Open to independent eye care professionals and practices; optical industry professionals and educators; national and regional retailers; and optical laboratories, the five Transitions Innovation Awards categories include:

  • 2016 Transitions Brand Ambassador (Individual-only award)

Nominations for all Transitions Innovation Awards will be accepted online (at TransitionsCanadaPRO.ca/Awards) from October 1 – 31, 2016. To enter, candidates must complete a nomination form and detail their 2016 efforts in the following evaluation areas: commitment and inspiration, goals, plan and creativity, and impact and results.
