The City of Norman is seeking nominees for its annual Human Rights Award, and the call for submissions is officially open. Celebrating local heroes who work tirelessly to further human rights and equality, the Norman Human Rights Commission is looking for individuals or groups with a track record of positive impact within the community. The Norman City Council honors recipients of this award for their endeavors in promoting social justice and community service, leaving lasting, tangible improvements in the lives of others.
Nominations are being accepted until the stroke of midnight on October 15, the Commission detailed the criteria they're looking for: notable achievements that have made a real difference, personal sacrifices, time invested in the cause, and, leadership qualities that have spurred innovation and motivated others. The idea is to find someone who not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to human rights advocacy and community uplift.
For those interested in nominating a candidate, Norman has made the process accessible. Nominations can be sent via email to [email protected], or if you're the old-fashioned type, via snail mail—a printed letter mailed to the Human Rights Commission's P.O. box. Those opting for digital submissions can find the web-based form handy on the City of Norman's website, while a printable form is also up for grabs for those who prefer to fill it out by hand and send it back.
Make sure your nomination letter is crystal clear: include the name and telephone number of your nominee, and don't forget your own contact details – just in case the Commission needs to follow up with you.
