Nominations are being sought for the annual Malibu Times Citizens of the Year Dolphin Awards.
The purpose of the Dolphin Awards program is to recognize outstanding efforts of individual Malibu citizens and, by acknowledging and publicizing their contributions, inspire others.
Readers are invited to submit nominees worthy of being considered for a Dolphin Award, individuals who have made outstanding contributions to improving one or more aspects of Malibu’s community life.
Dolphins are a very diverse group. Some Dolphins may have many years of achievement; others have only recently found an important way to serve. Some have been involved in multiple activities; others have focused on one or two. Some are business professionals, politicians or educators, while still others are retirees, retailers, restaurateurs, homemakers or students. Their interests are as diverse as they are and range from environmental protection to wildlife rescue to education, literacy, the arts, health and safety, teen programs… the list goes on and on.
To submit a nominee, write at least 300 words describing your nominee’s contribution and why you think that person should be considered.
Please include enough information (several paragraphs at least) for the editorial/publishers board to be able to make an informed decision.
The deadline is Jan. 31.
