Telluride Foundation’s Annual Award Recognizes Exceptional Telluridians. Accepting nominations now.
The Telluride Foundation created its Outstanding Citizen award to honor individuals who unselfishly make extraordinary contributions to the quality of life in the region. Nominations are now being solicited from the entire regional community for the 2013 award. New this year will be a video testimonial of the finalists to help tell the story to the selection committee. The recipient will be announced in July.
“The Outstanding Citizen Award is a celebration of how much dedication and love people have for this community. In order to personalize the nominations, this year we are creating video clips of people who submitted nominations as they speak about their nominee and their personal contributions to the community,” said Telluride Foundation President and CEO, Paul Major, “We are proud of everyone nominated and want to share the passion the residents have for our region. The video clips will be used by the selection committee to enliven the nominee and bring to life their community contributions.”
The Telluride Foundation’s Citizen of the Year award is in recognition of someone who has unselfishly contributed to the Telluride regional community’s quality of life. The recipient will receive a commemorative plaque and a grant of $5,000 to be given in their name to the local non-profit of their choice.
