Publisher Seeking “2013 Citizen of the Year Award” Nominees
Whitman Parker, Publisher of the Jacksonville Review, is accepting nominations for the Review’s first-ever Jacksonville Review Citizen of the Year Award. Nomination letters will be accepted for consideration through December 10.
Parker says, “For years, I have been running stories on the amazing adults and kids living in Jacksonville…I like to say the “V” in Jacksonville stands for “volunteer.” I’m looking for nominees doing good things in and around town…those making a difference and working to make Jacksonville a nice place to live.”
Parker adds that JRCOYA nominees don’t need to belong to a formal group or service club. “I’m not just looking for people in the public eye, either. There are lots of folks working quietly behind the scenes on all sorts of things to improve life here…these are the volunteers making great things happen in Jacksonville and the greater Rogue Valley area.”
To nominate someone you feel deserves this special recognition, simply email a letter to Whitman@thejacksonvillereview.com describing in 500 words or less what the nominee does for the community and why he/she deserve to be named the 2013 Jacksonville Review Citizen of the Year.
“In our upcoming December holiday issue,” Parker concludes, “I will publish the winning story along with other inspiring ones…I’m sure it’ll be hard to select just one winning entry and that all of the nominees will be worthy of this award.”
Both the winning nominee and the person sending-in the nomination will receive special Jacksonville-related gifts for participating.
To nominate the 2013 Jacksonville Review Citizen of the Year, email your story to Whitman@thejacksonvillereview.com or mail a copy to PO Box 1114, (97530) no later than December 10, 2013. Please include your name and contact information in all correspondence.
