The City of Burien has put out its annual call for people to nominate Outstanding Citizens and/or Businesspeople for 2009′s “Outstanding Citizens Awards” program.

The deadline for nominations is Feb. 1, 2010.

Winners will be honored at the city’s annual awards ceremony, which will be held Friday, March 5th.

The four categories are:

• Outstanding Citizen
• Business Person
• Educator
• Environmental Activist

This program is sponsored by the city, along with Discover Burien.

To nominate a person, the city asks you to:

“Please describe what this person or organization has done, when the contribution was made, who benefited, how the contribution was accomplished and where the impact was made.”

(hmmm…perhaps this could be the year that a certain, fast-growing Burien-based community news website gets nominated…?)

There are two ways to make a nomination, and the deadline is Feb. 1, 2010:

1. Via an online form here
2. Via snail mail to:

Burien City Hall
400 S.W. 152nd Street, Suite 3
