Since EMACT is such a large and ever-growing organization, our best source of suggestions for individuals deserving of such an honor is the individual community theaters themselves. If there is someone in your organization that your Board feels should be considered for this honor, please submit a letter with the reasons you believe they should be considered for such an award. We hope that some of our member groups will bring forward suggestions of individuals who have served their own groups and the theatre community as a whole in an exceptional way so that EMACT may recognize their contributions.  

Please submit your nominations, along with a 500-1000 word narrative regarding why this nominee should be considered to: Celia Couture at ccouture@emact.org.

The deadline is March 15​.
