Seeking Nominations for Columbus Arch Award 2010

As announced last week, the City of Columbus will be celebrating its 198th Birthday in 2010, and the Columbus Historical Society is throwing a party on February 18th. This party includes the recognition of several “Sullivant Gift Award” winners, who are individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the city. These contributions echo the spirit of Central Ohio pioneer Lucas Sullivant, who gave away plots of land in Franklinton as gifts to encourage urban development.

Columbus Underground has been tapped with the duty of seeking out nominations for the “Arch Award”, which will recognize one up-and-coming individual who is working hard towards making modern day history in Columbus and bettering the city for tomorrow. The “Arch Award” not only symbolizes the crossing of a generational span, but also pays homage to the old “Arch City” nickname for Columbus.

If you have a nomination for this award, please submit the person’s name, and contact information to archaward@columbusunderground.com. The cutoff time for submissions is Sunday, January 31st at 11:59pm.
