The deadline for submitting nominations for the first annual Self Made in New Hampshire award is Friday, March 25, 2011. The application is available on the Self Made in New Hampshire website at www.SelfMadeinNH.com.

The Self Made in New Hampshire award showcases the untold stories of those who have persevered and made their own way in life. This event is a platform to give others the opportunity to share stories and inspire the community.

Nominees for Self Made in New Hampshire could be people who have started their career from scratch, beginning at the bottom and tirelessly working their way up. They may have spent extra years earning a degree, working full time while taking classes and looking after their family. Or they might just be incredibly hard workers, driven to excel by making their lives and the lives of others a little bit better.

 A judging panel will narrow the field down to three finalists, and the winner will be announced at a celebration gala. The Self Made in New Hampshire dinner and gala will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 16, 2011, at Brookstone Park, 14 Route 111, Derry. Tickets for the gala are available at SelfMadeInNH.com.
