The award is presented annually to a person in the communications field who has made significant contributions to the religious life of Texas. Baptist employees and employees of Baptist-related institutions, agencies or churches are ineligible for nomination. The Texas Baptist Communications Advisory Committee selects the recipient from written nominations, which can be made by any member of a church affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. To nominate someone, write a letter giving as much information as possible about the person and his or her work.
Essential information includes the nominee s address and telephone number.
The committee then will contact the nominee asking for documentation and supporting materials. A documentation package must be submitted either by the nominee or the person making the nomination. A nominee may or may not be a member of a Texas Baptist church. The nominee may be a performer, working in a supervisory capacity, or working directly in either print or electronic media. Last year s recipient was Kenneth Wyatt, a Texas-based artist, author and Methodist minister.
