Dedication
Each year since 1988 we have dedicated this awards ceremony to a person who has helped the Celebration of Humanities in a special way, by working on the organizing committee, supporting the Celebration financially, or promoting the humanities and the Celebration in the community. All have dedicated themselves to advancing the arts and humanities. In this, our forty-fourth year, we applaud them.
