Island Treasure Award:
Created in 1999, this special award honors excellence in the arts
and/or humanities, and is presented annually to two individuals
judged Island Treasures by the Bainbridge Island Community. Candidates
for the award have lived on Bainbridge Island for at least three
years and have displayed an ongoing commitment to their chosen field.
The Island Treasure selection process was modeled after the MacArthur
Fellows Program. Ten nominators chosen from a pool recommended by
the Arts and Humanities Council each identified one or two outstanding
candidates. Candidates' names and descriptions of accomplishments
were then submitted to a five member jury comprised of individuals
drawn from every aspect of the Bainbridge Island community to ensure
representation of a wide range of experience. The names of the two
award recipients were then approved by the BIAHC Board. Complete
anonymity of nominators, jurists and recipients was maintained throughout
the process.
The Island Treasure Awards are designed to provide a cash prize
of $3,000 and community recognition for the ongoing contributions
of the recipients. The design for the Island Treasure award was
created by Island artist, Kent Van Slyke.
