1. Citizen Guardianship Awards
Eligibility: Private citizens and/or non-governmental organizations or groups.
2. Public Trust Guardianship Awards
Eligibility: Government agencies and/or elected or appointed government officials.
3. Business Guardianship Awards
Eligibility: Commercial entities doing business on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Nominees must live in or work on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Recipients will be selected by the Directors of the Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper, and presented with their award at the Shorekeeper’s annual Clamboree. This form is available on our website, www.shorekeeper.org.
