Manni Awards
Overview
The Manni Awards were started in 2014 by the collaboration of the city government, the school district, the Chamber of Commerce, the Manitou Springs Collaborative and the local newspaper. The awards recognize community leaders and champions who have given outstanding volunteer service and demonstrated the ability to collaborate and inspire others to manifest Manitou's community visions.
Each year approximately ten awards are given in the following categories: Lifetime Education, Lifetime Community Champions, Adult Visionary Leadership, Youth Visionary Leadership, CH Rockey Artistic Endeavors, Environmental Stewardship, Business & Economic Vitality, Health & Wellbeing, Civic Achievement, and Public Service.
