The principle
A plaque is only the start. The Westport Culture Awards give people their flowers by telling their stories, celebrating their contributions and recognizing their impact on generations of Westport residents.
Who in Westport deserves their flowers?
Think of the coach, the volunteer or the shopkeeper who knows everyone’s name. If they make Westport better, tell us their story.
Give them their flowers.
Give someone their flowers.
Nominate someone for a Westport Culture Award.
