Seeking Iowan of the Day Nominations

Calling for all great Iowans! Think of a person in your community who does an outstanding job volunteering to better your community. Someone who never says no and can always be counted on to step in. Are they involved with youth and show great personal qualities and achievements? Does this person love the state of Iowa and show true Iowa pride? Have they improved your community? If you answered yes to any of these questions, nominate this person to be the Iowan of the Day during the 2017 Iowa State Fair! We will honor ten different Iowans during the Fair with a day filled with Fair fun for each winner!

Gather materials that demonstrate how this person has been an asset to your community. Supplemental materials include letters of recommendation, awards, pictures, newspaper articles and a list of their involvement within their community. We are accepting nominations until July 1. Don’t hesitate to nominate someone, it could be a day they will never forget!

Nomination forms can be found on our website. Please have them postmarked by July 1. 

It is very rewarding to read each and every nomination we receive. I am proud to call Iowa my home and to have grown up in a state with hardworking, dedicated people who only want to better our state. I am looking forward to receiving more nominations for this great award!
