Anyone can submit a nomination for an Oracle ACE Associate and Oracle ACE Pro candidate. Yes, that means that you can also nominate yourself for these levels!
Nominations for Oracle ACE Directors need to be submitted by either current ACE members in good standing who do not have the same employer as the nominee, or Oracle employees. All ACE Director nominations need to include at least one reference from an Oracle product manager.
The ACE Program team will review a submitted nomination to evaluate the candidate's public contributions, level of expertise, and length of time they’ve been sharing their knowledge in the community. Oracle reserves the right to decide if a nomination is accepted or rejected.
We recommend that you fill out the application using as many knowledge-sharing examples as possible for the previous 12 to 18 months. For each community contribution, include a link so we can learn more about the candidate.
If you have Java contributions, please share examples that show:
