Ohio Lake Erie Awards

In honor of Ohio Citizens and Organizations who have made outstanding contributions to enhance our Great Lake.

In today's busy society, it takes special dedication to commit extra time toward a worthwhile cause.  Each fall an individual and organization is selected for the Ohio Lake Erie Award.

Nominations are accepted throughout the year.  They are carefully reviewed by the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, whom selects the winner.

2010 Ohio Lake Erie Awards: nomination form coming soon.
