We are now collecting award nominations. New Urban Arts introduced annual awards in 2002 to recognize individuals and organizations who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to New Urban Arts. Board members, staff, artist mentors and students can nominate candidates, people who share extraordinary contributions of time, expertise, money, energy or support—often without solicitation—going beyond what is asked of them in support of New Urban Arts and its mission.

New Urban Arts has grouped the awards and candidates as follows:
1. Sandra Olson Award - Individual Volunteers: board members, volunteers, consultants, etc.
2. Founders’ Award - Organizations & Businesses: corporations, small businesses, foundations, community organizations
3. Carole Harman Award - Full-time staff, artist mentors, students, and/or alumni

Each year, New Urban Arts gives awards to one individual or organization in each category. Under special circumstances as determined by the review panel, more than one award in each category may be given.
Awards will be given at the Annual Campaign Event, April 15, 2016.

Award Nominations are due Friday February 19, 2016.
