COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Nominations are being sought for the PRCA Donita Barnes Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award, created to recognize PRCA members who have dedicated their lives to advancing the rodeo industry through their commitment, work and contributions. Any active member (or active lifetime member) of the PRCA may nominate eligible contract personnel members for the award.

Nominees must have been a PRCA member for a minimum of 15 years, and may not have won a yearly contract personnel award within 15 years of the date of nomination (life members may be nominated even if they are not actively renewed). Nomination letters of 500 words or less may be mailed to the PRCA, 101 Pro Rodeo Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 or e-mailed to bsorenson@prorodeo.com between now and Aug. 1.

All nominations will be reviewed by an external selection panel. The top five nominees will be included on a final ballot mailed out no later than Sept. 15. The final ballots will be sent to contract personnel members who have participated in at least one rodeo within that rodeo year. Ballots are to be returned no later than Oct. 15.
