Know a Person or Place that Embodies Scottsdale Spirit?

Scottsdale’s Neighborhood Advisory Commission wants to recognize the people and places that embody the “Spirit of Scottsdale”. How a person or place contributes to Scottsdale physically, aesthetically or socially are all reasons to nominate. From February 1st through September 2018, the Neighborhood Advisory Commission will accept nominations for the 4th Annual Spirit of Scottsdale Awards. Entries must include a photo of the person or place nominated, and fall within Southern Scottsdale (Indian Bend Road south, within city limits and inclusive of Downtown) to be eligible.
