Selection
An independent group of civic leaders and lay people representing the community will review the applications and select award recipients. Finalists may be contacted for phone interviews after applications have been received and references have been checked. All participants will be notified of the judges' decisions by June 30, 2012.
Because of the expected volume of nominations, the judging committee cannot respond to phone calls regarding the status of a specific nomination.
All entries become the property of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis and will not be returned. No additional submitted materials will be allowed in the review and evaluation process.
Decisions of the judges are final, based on final reference checks.
