Nomination Packages
The Cultural Leaders Legacy Artist Awards are looking for outstanding Calgarians
Calgary Arts Development has been hard at work getting ready to open nominations for the eighth annual Cultural Leaders Legacy Artist Awards.
Presented as part of the Mayor’s Lunch for Arts Champions in March 2020, each award is funded by a contribution from a local philanthropist or organization with matching money from Calgary 2012. I wanted to share a few things to consider when getting your nomination package together.
Remember to leave yourself lots of time to upload your nomination and attachments, as the system gets bogged down within the last two hours of the submission deadline.
We have improved the form used in the nomination process but it isn’t perfect.
In the case of a technical error during your submission upload, remember to follow-up with myself at kaley.beisiegel@calgaryartsdevelopment.com if you don’t get a confirmation email within a week after your submission. If the submission does not load successfully, I have no way of knowing it is missing and this may result in your nomination not being considered for the award.
Once everything is entered, push the send button once and wait for the page to reload. A green dialog box will appear under the submit tab if there are no errors. Depending on your file sizes, uploading may take a few moments.
Not sure of what category to submit to? Feel free to send your questions to my email at kaley.beisiegel@calgaryartsdevelopment.com.
