The town of Clarkdale is now accepting nominees for its Spirit of Clarkdale awards.
Typically, the winners are chosen each year in a variety of different categories.
This year’s categories include property beautification, historic preservation, neighborhood programs, event or projects and community volunteerism.
“The Spirit of Clarkdale Awards Program provides a way for the Clarkdale Town Council to recognize Clarkdale home and business owners, residents and other individuals that have taken steps in the community which are worthy of recognition,” the nomination information states.
Anyone can nominate any Clarkdale resident they wish if they think someone really stands out or otherwise deserves some recognition.
It’s the second year in a row the town has looked at handing out the awards.
It had previously been a regular event, but shrinking budgets forced the town to suspend the awards program in 2011 and 2012.
