Nominations for the Vanguard Award are now closed. Keep an eye on 7x7.com for the announcement of the seven finalists and another round of voting to determine the winner! 

We recently introduced you to seven local leaders who are shaking things up in the fields of education, sustainability, and community development. These gamechangers are dedicated to improving the Bay Area community, and they deserve recognition for their hard work. Inspired by their contributions, we've collaborated with the University of Oregon to launch the Vanguard Award, dedicated to shedding light on community members who are revolutionizing the status quo.

Tell us about the gamechanging locals who are working to make the Bay Area a better place and deserve to win the Vanguard Award. With your help, we'll narrow down the field to seven finalists before voting once again to determine the winner. This Bay Area leader will be featured in a profile on 7x7.com and will receive $5,000 to further their organization's work in our community.

Help recognize a local leader. Nominate below!

Nominations are open until March 22, 2015. If you choose to enter your email address below, you will be signed up for the daily 7x7 newsletter. You may unsubscribe at anytime.
