>> So when will that be done and we get to see who you have chosen?
The deadline for nominations was noon today. We’ll work early next week to pick the recipients (there will be several) and we will name them in a series of stories most likely January 1-3 (the exact dates are still to be determined).
So when will that be done and we get to see who you have chosen?
>> So when will we be allowed to vote on them?
It is not a popularity vote. Our editorial board chooses since we are presenting the honor.
So when will we be allowed to vote on them?

A lot of really, really good people. It amazes me when I read the nominations just how blessed we all are to live in North Escambia. There are good folks here.
