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.
