The
Citizen of the Year Award
honors
long-term, steady, reliable and continuing outstanding volunteer service
as well as a
recent extraordinary accomplishment
by an individual that resulted in a
substantial benefit to the Palisades community at large
. The recipient must be an adult resident of the Palisades at the time the accomplishment and long-term services were rendered.

The
Golden Sparkplug Award
honors those citizens who ignite
original ideas and projects
into community action that benefit Palisadian
s throughout the community. The project must have been
initiated, in progress or completed
during the current or prior calendar yea
r.
Adults and youth are both eligible, and must either reside in, own real property in, or operate a business in the Palisades at the time the services were rendered
(see fn. 1 below).
In the case of both Awards,
the services, accomplishment or project must have been voluntary and not related to nor a beneficial outcome of the nominee’s business, profession or occupation
. Neither Award can be given to PPCC board members based on services directly related to their responsibilities as board members, although such services may be considered as a qualifying factor in the case of nominees for the Citizen Award. The Award recipients are based on the quality of work and benefits achieved, not the quantity of nominations.
P
lease note:
“Pride of the Palisades” distinction is
discretionary
and may be bestowed from time to time only in exceptional circumstances, as determined by the Awards Selection Committee.
Nominations from the public are not sought for Pride of the Palisades honors
(see Awards Guidelines linked below).
