We want uncover the positive side of Central New York. The stories that make the biggest impact and somehow go unrecognized.

There's no special criteria. It could be someone who has had a profound effect on your community or your personal life. An unheralded champion who has made a significant difference in the lives of others.

By nominating someone, you can tell their story to the community at large and garner them the appreciation and respect they deserve. To honor these amazing people of Central New York, we’ll be choosing 40 of the most inspirational and impactful nominees to celebrate at an awards ceremony later this year.

Please fill out the information below to nominate someone for this recognition. Briefly describe the person and go into detail as to why they deserve some recognition. Please include your contact information as we may need to reach out if your nominee is selected.

If you'd like to submit a video nomination, feel free to DM on Instagram! @unsungheroesofcny
