Winners receive a stainless-steel trophy designed by Madera artist Cat Dellavalle, and all nominees are recognized with a framed art print.
Each year’s honorees are celebrated at a formal, fully-sponsored awards ceremony. We’re proud to spotlight those who inspire students, lead classrooms, and strengthen our community through their commitment and passion.
