Today, we’re once again asking for your assistance in identifying a few people to nominate as the third-ever “Yolo County Hero” award winner.

Here’s how: Just send an email to both [email protected] and [email protected] and tell us who you’d like to nominate and why.

We’ll convene a panel to review the entries, and in February, we will begin announcing the five finalists and writing stories about each, highlighting their “heroic” acts. By mid-March, we’ll announce one as the winner and honor that person as the third “Yolo County Hero.”

The overall winner will receive a $500 cash prize.

How you choose your hero and what criteria you want to establish for your hero is entirely up to you. You can send us an email about anyone you see as someone who does great things for other people, or animals, or the environment or anything you consider hero-worthy. We’ll give equal consideration to heroes who perform extraordinary feats behind the scenes and to those who are paid to do so.

Nominations are due Sunday, Jan 11.
