Nominate Hero For Jefferson Award

KPRC Local 2 and the Jefferson Awards call on you to nominate individuals for their achievements and contributions to public and community service. Do you have a relative, friend or co-worker who makes an impact in your community?

In every neighborhood, there are "unsung heroes" -- volunteers who are not paid as well as many professionals but go well beyond their expected duties.

The nomination process is simple. Fill out the form below and include a compelling story about your nominee. Make sure to highlight how the nominee's actions benefit the lives of others and the local community. One winner will be picked each month. There is no deadline to send in nominations.

Any nomination should address the following.

  1. Outstanding personal acts: Here is an ordinary individual performing outstanding personal acts. This individual stands out for taking extra steps. The individual acts were outstanding, unique and heroic.
  2. Community impact and helping others: Besides the heroic acts of the individual, the individual has positively impacted the community. The acts of this individual helped hundreds of others. Look at the change or improvement that this individual was responsible for while addressing important issues facing the community.
  3. Eligibility: Eligibility includes volunteers and paid professionals who are going well above and beyond their job description. "Unsung" means not normally in the media.


You will see the winners' stories on KPRC Local 2 News.
