Nomination Deadline Coming Up For 2022 Best Of Braddock Awards

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — Residents of Fairfax County's Braddock District are invited to nominate a neighbor, worker, or someone involved in the district who contributed to making the community a better place to live and work as part of the 2022 Best of Braddock awards.

People who have been recognized in the past include postal service carriers, crossing guards, volunteers with animal rescue groups, park volunteers, people helping with foster care, Fairfax County staff members and people who have shown kindness to their neighbors.

“I hope everyone will take a moment to consider a neighbor deserving of a Best of Braddock award,” Braddock District Supervisor James Walkinshaw said in a statement.

The deadline for submitting a nomination is Friday, Nov. 4. The five categories for the 2022 Best of Braddock awards are:

• Braddock District Citizen of the Year

• Neighborhood Enhancement or Beautification in the Braddock District (individual homeowner, HOA/community association, or other group)
• Most “Can-Do” Public Employee Working on Issues in the Braddock District
• Club or Organization Making a Difference in the Braddock District

Residents can nominate as many people or organizations as they wish, but should use only one nomination form per person or group.
