Nomination forms are available online in the “Livestock” section of www.prorodeo.com or by e-mailing jpugsley@prorodeo.com. All nominations received by Sept. 1 will be submitted to the selection committee. The selection committee will consider each nominee’s overall dedication to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock, extent of involvement in the sport of rodeo, community involvement and letters of recommendation.
