Awards are bestowed on living persons; there are no posthumous awards. Also please be sure to check that your nominee is not a past recipient.
To nominate a Vermont artist or cultural organization,
please carefully review the criteria for each award by visiting https://www.vermontartscouncil.org/programs/arts-awards and the respective awards' web pages.
Complete the online form below or send an email to info@vermontartscouncil.org with "Award Nomination" in the subject line. Include your name and contact information; the nominee's name and contact info; and the award that you are nominating them for. List three to five achievements, based on awards criteria, that qualify this nominee for the award and provide one to three links to information about the nominee that support this nomination.
Occasionally, people or companies worthy of recognition by the Council do not fit comfortably into one of these categories. Parties interested in nominating such an individual or organization should still use the form and make the case for recognition.
Please note that the number of nominations an individual or organization receives has no bearing on the choice of recipient.
