WATERVILLE — Each year Hardy Girls honor five girls who are making Maine a better place for all girls. Girls ages 9-19 who live in Maine are eligible to be nominated. Awards are given in five categories:
⢠Title IX Champion — for a girl advocating for equal access in school athletics.
⢠Health Advocacy — celebrating activism to make Maine a healthier place for girls.
⢠Against the Odds — an award dedicated to efforts to redefine “able” for Maine Girls.
⢠Community Organizing — awarded to a girl activist for her work mobilizing her peers.
⢠Entrepreneurship – honoring a girl who has turned her passion into a business.
Winners of these awards will receive $100 honorarium and statewide recognition of their achievements during Girls Rock Weekend — April 4-5.
Log on to hhghw.wufoo.com/forms/girls-rock-nomination-form-2014/ to learn more and nominate a girl who rocks before the Jan. 31 deadline. Anyone can nominate a girl. She doesn’t need to be a member of Hardy Girls, nor does her work have to have happened in the last year.
Honoring girls for all the ways they are making a difference is important. Big and small. Each nominee gets a certificate recognizing her, a blurb written in our program booklet dispersed to more than 400 people, and they are included in a PowerPoint presentation that plays during the award ceremony.
