Sam Saltonstall, 2021 NRCM People's Choice Award winner
Nominations Open for NRCM's 2024 People's Choice Award
Our People's Choice Award was created to honor someone (or a group) who has gone above and beyond to protect a special place, or helped pass a particular safeguard for Maine’s environment, or worked to stop polluting companies from contaminating our state—a volunteer who has devoted their time and effort to making future generations will enjoy the kind of Maine we know and love today.
Nominations for the 2024 People's Choice Award have closed.
NRCM will compile the nominees and post finalists on our website, where, from Monday, August 19 through noon on Monday, September 9, you, your friends, and your family can vote for the person you think most deserves this year’s People’s Choice Award.
(Important note: This award honors volunteers, so we cannot consider someone who currently sits on a regulatory board, is in the Legislature, or if they are or were serving in a paid position while carrying out the work for which you feel they should be nominated.)
