CNCF is driving awards to respect the most active ambassadors and contributors to the CNCF projects. Anyone from the community can nominate an individual for the two awards below. Last year, Kelsey Hightower won Top Ambassador and Top Committer was shared by Tim Hockin and Fabian Reinartz: https://github.com/cncf/awards#2016

In 2017 CNCF offers two community awards:

- Top Cloud Native Ambassador - an individual with the incredible community-oriented skills, focused on spreading the word and sharing the knowledge with the entire Cloud Native community or within a specific project. Anyone can be nominated for this award; the final voting will be run by the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC).

- Top Cloud Native Committer - an individual with the incredible technical skills and notable technical achievements in one or multiple CNCF projects. People, defined as the CNCF project maintainers can be nominated; every person from the community can vote.
