Do you know someone or an organization that deserves an award for outstanding work in the arts?  The City of Santa Fe is accepting nominations for the 2007 Mayor’s Recognition Awards for Excellence in the Arts.  This award recognizes individuals and organizations that have made significant, ongoing or legacy contributions to the success of the arts in Santa Fe.

We also consider nominations of youth artists who have demonstrated artistic excellence and achievement with a deep commitment to the arts for the Melissa Engestrom Youth Artist Award. We invite you to submit nominations of outstanding young individuals who deserve special recognition even though they are not yet well established in their careers.

A nomination form can be obtained through this website or by contacting the Arts Commission office at 955-6707 or artscommission@santafenm.gov.  The deadline for submitting nominations is Thursday, June 15, 2007.  Current Commission members and recipients of the Governor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts within the last five years are ineligible.  Please note that there is no need to submit multiple nominations for one person or organization.  One thorough nomination will ensure consideration by the selection committee.

The arts play a very important part in the cultural and fiscal health of Santa Fe and we hope you will join Mayor David Coss in recognizing those individuals who have contributed to the success of Santa Fe’s arts community.  This year, as in the past, we are very happy to have the sponsorship of Century Bank for this event.  A dinner to honor recipients will take place on November 13 , 2007.  

Sincerely,
