The City of Richmond is calling for nominations for its annual arts awards.
Nominations are being accepted in six categories: arts education, artistic innovation and excellence, business and the arts, cultural leadership, volunteerism and youth arts.
All artistic disciplines are eligible: culinary, literary, performing and visual arts, as well as craft, environmental arts, new media and social practice.
There will be a $300 prize for the winner in the Youth Arts category, which recognizes an artist 24 years or younger, whose artistic practice demonstrates outstanding promise and commitment to the Richmond arts community.
The award winners will be honoured at a gala awards ceremony hosted by Mayor Malcolm Brodie at Richmond City Hall council chambers in May.
The 17th annual Richmond Arts Awards are presented through a partnership between the City of Richmond and Richmond Arts Coalition. The program has recognized 96 honourees since 2009.
Nominate them online at richmond.ca/ArtsAwards until 5 p.m. on Monday, March 10.
