Coming Up Taller Awards Program Seeks Nominations

 

 

Columbia, S.C. - The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in
partnership with the President's Committee on the Arts and the
Humanities (PCAH) invites nominations for the 2010 Coming Up Taller
Awards. The program, now in its thirteenth year, honors excellence in
afterschool, out-of-school, and summer arts and humanities programs for
underserved children and youth. Other program partners include the
National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the
Humanities.

Each year, the Coming Up Taller Awards recognize and reward exceptional
programs that cultivate character development and life skills in young
people. Award recipients receive $10,000 each, an individualized plaque,
and an invitation to attend the annual Coming Up Taller Leadership
Enhancement Conference in Washington, D.C. The Coming Up Taller Awards
ceremony has traditionally been held in the fall at the White House,
with the awards bestowed by the President's Committee's Honorary
Chairman, First Lady Michelle Obama.

At the Coming Up Taller awards ceremony held at the White House last
month, Mrs. Obama called the Coming Up Taller awardees' achievement in
the arts and humanities "a bridge to achievement in life."

  

The deadline for nominations is Friday, January 29, 2010.
