The Ames Human Relations Commission has extended the deadline to submit nominations for its annual Humanitarian Award to Friday, Dec. 11. Applications were initially due on Sunday, Dec. 6, but some email submissions were being blocked or rejected.

The Humanitarian Award recognizes and honors a worthy individual whose contributions to our community demonstrate extraordinary quality, including efforts to promote diversity, fairness, and equality. To be eligible to receive the award, the nominee must be a resident of Ames. The recipient of the award will be recognized during the community celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., on Monday, Jan. 18, 2021. If circumstances with the COVID-19 pandemic prevent the community celebration from taking place, the award recipient will be recognized in an alternative way.

The Humanitarian Award application is available on the City’s website at www.cityofames.org/AHRC
