Do you know someone who is actively involved in the arts? They could be dancing for charity events, singing for a fundraiser or being an inspirational speaker. Or do you know someone involved in sports? Possibly training his/her peers for volleyball, a coach for a team or a helpful team captain?
If you witness a person that demonstrates the above qualities, nominate them for the ConocoPhillips Youth of Distinction Awards (YODA). Yes, a youth has the ability to nominate their peer if they see them stepping up or making a difference. The Sportsmanship and Arts & Culture awards are new to YODA this year. The committee decided that these two awards are needed because there are several youth in our community that use their talents to help the world. This is truly a generous quality that youth possess, therefore you should nominate because they deserve to be recognized. They could be in your school, community or maybe you met them long time ago. Reconnect and get to know them. There are plenty of people out there that never get recognized for their sincere personality and generous offers.
If you don’t happen to know someone who is involved in sports or the arts, nominate them for one of our other awards (max. 3 per person). These awards are: Advocacy, Peer Support, Perseverance, Environmentalism (Group or Individual), Volunteerism and Leadership. This is your chance to recognize a youth who’s making an effort to change the world. It’s a big city, there are plenty of people out there that deserve to be recognized. So nominate someone for the ConocoPhillips Youth of Distinction Awards by March 5, 2012!
