Nomination Form

2011 Seefeldt Awards for Arts

Excellence
The 2011 Kathleen K. Seefeldt Awards for Arts Excellence will be presented at Arts Alive! on
Saturday, April 30, 2011. The Seefeldt Awards recognize individuals and organizations who have
contributed to the strength and success of the local arts. The Seefeldt Awards can be presented to
any individual, arts group or business which has advanced the arts in Prince William County,
Manassas and Manassas Park.

The Seefeldt Awards are traditionally very competitive. Previous recipients have created new
programs/services in the arts, volunteered their time and energy for the arts, provided in-kind or
financial support, championed the local arts, and worked to expand the reach of the arts in our
community. Some recipients were recognized for exceptional efforts during the previous arts season
while others were recognized for ongoing contributions. If you have previously nominated an
organization or individual who did not win a Seefeldt Award, feel free to nominate them again.

All nominees will be recognized and celebrated at Arts Alive! 2011 on April 30 (rain date, May 1). If
you know an organization, business or individual who has made a difference in the arts, complete
the attached nomination form and return it by close of business on March 28, 2011, via mail, email
or fax to:
