Section 4: And They Should Win Because . . .
List any local, art and cultural related work, projects, events, and organizations that the nominee has either been involved with, collaborated with, volunteered for, or simply provided general in-kind or cash support. More details can be provided in the next question.
(This isn’t a research paper so no more than 500 words should do the trick.) This is the section where winners are made. Remember, since the panel of judges may not be familiar with your award-worthy nominee you have to be as specific as you can. What SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS has your nominee made to the arts in Champaign County? What impact has your nominee's work, program, event or project had on the arts in our community? How has this amazing individual, business or organization helped to strengthen or increase awareness of the arts in Champaign County? There will be some pretty stiff competition so include any additional info you feel the judges should know.

Please click "Submit" only ONCE - the form may take a moment or two to process.
You will see a confirmation page as well as receive a confirmation email.
