Call for Nominations: 2012 Spectrum of Democracy Awards

RALEIGH – The N.C. Center for Voter Education is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Spectrum of Democracy Awards to recognize North Carolinians who are making a difference for the state’s democracy.

Nominations in the categories of outstanding citizen, outstanding public servant and outstanding media organization can be submitted now and through Dec. 1. Full details on submitting nominations are available at NCVoterEd.com/spectrum or by contacting the N.C. Center for Voter Education toll-free at 877-258-6837.

“Too often lost among bitter partisan squabbling are the uplifting stories of people working selflessly to make a positive difference for North Carolina,” said Damon Circosta, executive director of the N.C. Center for Voter Education. “We are very pleased to highlight the important work of citizens, public officials and journalists who are empowering voters.”

Award recipients will be honored at a dinner celebration at the Raleigh Marriott City Center on Feb. 23.

Founded in 1999, the N.C. Center for Voter Education is a Raleigh-based nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, dedicated to helping citizens more fully participate in democracy.
