Nominate North Escambia Persons Of The Year

December 23, 2010

NorthEscambia.com will honor several North Escambia residents as North Escambia Persons of the Year as 2010 comes to a close, and we need your help.

We are asking our readers to nominate individuals that they believe made a difference in North Escambia during 2010. We will choose several of them to be named as a 2010 North Escambia. Person of the Year.  The awards are our way of saying thanks to those that have worked to improve our lives in the North Escambia area during the past year.

We are not necessarily looking for a person with a long list of accomplishments. We are looking for people that have given of themselves to help others and the communities of North Escambia during 2010.

To nominate someone, please email their name, contact information (if known), and the reason why you believe they should be a Person of the Year. The person must either be a resident of North Escambia, work in North Escambia or otherwise have significantly impacted North Escambia in some way. For the purposes of this award, we define North Escambia as being Cantonment north to the Alabama line.

Entries should be emailed to news@northescambia.com by noon on Friday, December 24 (we extended the deadline a few days). We need your email and phone number just in case we have questions, but your name and contact information will not be published.

The 2010 North Escambia Persons of the Year will be named after Christmas.

Last year, the following were named 2009 North Escambia Persons of the Year:

(These persons are not eligible for the 2010 Persons of the Year, so please don’t submit their names again this year.)

    >> 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).

    It is not a popularity vote. Our editorial board chooses since we are presenting the honor.
