Comment: 1)  says an event MAY not be notable if only covered in local sources, so it is not sufficient just to point to local sources and say "not notable". 2) The "local" media we are talking about here includes essentially state-wide media (e.g., The Virginia Pilot, Virginia's largest daily). 3) Appears to be awarded every year, has a relatively high profile based on who it is named after. Meets  on the basis of the sourcing already provided
