Governor's Humanities Award Nominations

 

Call For Nominations

Each year in October the Missouri Humanities Council confers the Governor's Humanities Awards on a few individuals who have made important contributions to their schools or their community's cultural life. The awards reflect achievements in history, cultural heritage, and literature.

The 2005 Governor's Awards will be conferred in October at the Governor's Mansion. Click here for more information on the 2004 Awardees.

Awards will be conferred in three categories.

The Community Heritage Award goes to a person who has made a special contribution to a community's understanding of its heritage.

The Public Involvement Award goes to a person who has been exemplary in developing public interest in the activities of a museum, a historic site or house, or historical society, or who has generated exceptional public interest in history or literature in some other way.

The Excellence in Secondary Education Award goes to one or more teachers of English, history, languages, or social studies, grades 9-12, in Missouri's public or private schools.

The deadline for 2005 nominations is April 30, 2005.
