Nominations OPEN NOW through May 31st for our Inaugural Community Awards!

Beginning in October of 2025, the Charles R. Wood Theater is implementing a set of Community Awards to be presented at our annual Fundraising Gala. While some awards will be nominated by and selected by the Committee, a number of awards will be given based on community nominations.

Please see the Community Nominated awards and their criteria below, and complete the nomination form in full for the individual(s) you feel deserve the award. The Committee will then review, discuss and vote on the winner.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: This Community Nominated Award will be presented to an individual (or the family of an individual if given posthumously) who has clearly exhibited a lifetime of commitment, passion and achievement in the Glens Falls (and surrounding Community) particularly in the arts and philanthropy in any relevant role. Such achievements may be defined by the nominee, who should outline the individual’s impact, legacy, and involvement over a span of several years in their nomination.

RISING STAR AWARD: This Community Nominated Award will be presented to an individual who has exhibited a recent, but significant commitment, passion and achievement in the Glens Falls (and surrounding Community) particularly in the arts and philanthropy in any relevant role. Such achievements may be defined by the nominee who should outline the individual’s current involvement, passion, commitment and impact in their nomination.

VISIONARY OF THE YEAR AWARD: This Community Nominated Award will be presented to an individual who has exhibited significant foresight and leadership in the community, particularly in the arts sector. This individual, business, collective or entity’s vision for the community and the arts may be defined by the nominee who should outline specific instances of this individual’s vision, execution and follow through of new initiatives and ideas.

The Community Nominated Awards are part of a set of several awards that will be chosen from to present each year. Each category may not be awarded every year, but the selection of award categories will remain consistent each year.
