Nominations Now Open for 'Lights, Camera… Fashion!'

This year, the Arts Council of Greater New Haven is excited to announce that the 42nd Annual Arts Awards is dedicated to fashion and style.

Do you know a designer whose spin on the craft is unparalleled?
A thrifty icon who has made you think twice about sustainable clothing?
What about a salon owner who has revolutionized your relationship with your hair?
Maybe that boutique whose clothes you just have to have?
Or that local fashion photographer whose work is phenomenal?
A dramatic costume designer, set wizard or lighting maestro?

If there is an individual, artistic team, business or organization in Greater New Haven who pops into your head, don’t hesitate to nominate them! Submit your nominations here by July 30.

*The community jury will evaluate candidates based on the quality, not quantity, of the nomination. One well-written nomination is all you need. Please include as much information as possible about the nominee - things like where they are based, links to websites or social media, etc. help the jury make an informed decision.
