2025 Dallas History Makers, Awards for Excellence Nominations are Open!
Deadline has been extended to March 31, 2025!
The Dallas History Makers, Awards for Excellence in Community Service was established on behalf of the Trustees of the Dallas Historical Society in 1981. Outstanding individuals and/or organizations are selected for this honor from nominations solicited from the Dallas community. The recipients are chosen for their contribution to the quality of life in Dallas in ten categories – Arts Leadership, Business, Creative Arts, Education, Health/Sciences, Humanities/History, Philanthropy, Sports Leadership, Volunteer Community Leadership or for the prestigious Jubilee History Maker Award.
The Dallas History Makers selection process is an editorial statement of the Dallas Historical Society that the designated recipients are deserving of recognition for their generosity of spirit, civic leadership and ability to encourage community-wide participation in a particular phase of the growth of this city. While not a lifetime achievement award, the Dallas History Makers award is bestowed on those who have devoted more than just a few years to our community. Recipients must be willing to accept their
awards in person. Voting Trustees of the Dallas Historical Society and elected officials are ineligible for nomination.
Nomination forms are here.
