tl;dr - nomination link: https://go.f5.net/nominateanmvp

Hey there, Community!

The F5 DevCentral Community thrives on the passion, knowledge, and generosity of its members. Out of this group, we assemble a group of members who go even further with their leadership and innovation and call them our MVPs. As we look toward assembling our 2026 MVP cohort, we invite you to help us recognize those individuals who consistently go above and beyond—those who embody the true spirit of Community. 

What Makes an F5 DevCentral MVP?

MVPs are members who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to helping their peers. Their acts of Community come in many forms, including:

• Answering questions and sharing solutions on community.f5.com
• Contributing expertise and support on external forums such as Reddit, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and across social media platforms
• Contributing offline whether one-to-one over a Zoom call, or one-to-many by speaking at one of our User Group/Academy events, Industry events, meetups, etc. where they share guidance, troubleshooting, and best practices to fellow F5 users
• Sharing innovation through posting about their iRules, projects, and more
• Encouraging collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity within our global community

Note: We do not provide a rubric for the exact actions or quantity of actions for qualification or for MVP participation. MVP nominations go through judging to ensure we've got the right group in place. We assure you that efforts going towards qualification are never a waste.

Expertise and Influence

F5 DevCentral MVPs are recognized experts with a deep understanding of F5 technologies. They regularly engage with F5’s Product team, providing valuable feedback and insights that directly influence our solutions and future direction. Their voices help shape the evolution of F5's platform and the wider community.

Why Nominate?

By nominating an MVP, you help recognize the individuals who make the F5 DevCentral Community a welcoming, supportive, and innovative place for all. Your nomination not only celebrates their efforts but also strengthens the entire Community.

What Do MVPs Receive?

We are working hard to put together a selection of awards into an initial package for our cohort. MVPs will also be provided additional MVP-only access to Community, the F5 Product team, and learning opportunities. We're also planning some new ways to celebrate our MVPs throughout the year, so you don't want to miss out.

How long does an MVP term last?

MVPs hold the designation for a 1 year term.There is no limit to the amount of consecutive terms that an MVP can hold the designation so long as they continue to meet the described qualification criteria.
