Reimagining

What does it mean to reimagine? Maybe it's a creative disrupting form, genre or expectation. Maybe it's a visionary building new pathways where non existed. Maybe it's a leader reshaping the cultural landscape itself. Who comes to mind? 

This year we're celebrating those who are reimagining our creative community - artists, cultural workers, organizations, and visionaries shaping what's next. Know someone doing impactful, innovative work? Make sure they're recognized! Nominations are open until April 9th.

QUALITY OF THE NOMINATION NOT QUANTITY OF ENTRIES IS WHAT COUNTS
Make sure you're letting the jury know as much information as possible about your nomination
