Areas of national or international accomplishment include, but are not limited to, agriculture, art, athletics, business, education, government, humanities, literature, medical, military, music, public service, religion, or science and technology. Nominations will be received until 5:00 pm on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. Procedures for submitting a nomination are as follows:

The date and time of the ceremony will be announced once decided upon. A bronze plaque with a picture of the inductee, along with a brief inscription of their accomplishment, will be placed at the Walk of Honor in River Heritage Park.
