This award honors individuals, organizations and businesses that have made significant contributions to the City’s arts, culture, natural environment or public spaces in the year 2013.
Award winners are honored at a reception at Bend City Hall in June.
Matt Schiffman, chair of the ABC Commission said, “Bend has an amazing depth of artistic participation in all facets of arts and culture. We want to recognize and honor those who contribute to Bend’s unique flavor.” The selections are based on an array of criteria including the level of community impact and strength of visitor attraction. In the past, ten awards were presented, but the Commission has decided that fewer awards make it more prestigious.
