Eddie Wharez, owner of Global Artefacts along “Rodeo Road”, event promoter and in fact its namesake, detailed nominations may be made on Facebook through Feb. 23^rd in the following categories:

• Lifetime achievement
• Youth artist
• Consolidated artist
• Group artist
• Foreign artist
• Artisan of the year
• Outstanding community individual
• Cultural Promoter
• Fan favorite via Facebook
• Patron of Culture and the Arts

This final award was added this year to recognize those who are always on hand to help Puerto Peñasco shine regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Nominations are open to artists originally from Puerto Peñasco, or those that have been residing here for at least two years, that had outstanding work in 2017. The foreign artist category, however, is open to any visiting artist that contributed in one way or another to the community of Puerto Peñasco in 2017.
