How can I be considered for an Icon Honors award?

Nominations can be made by anyone, including yourself. An application is automatically emailed to all nominees and must be completed in order to be considered for this award. A letter of recommendation is not required, but is strongly encouraged to assist the judges in making their decision.

To be eligible, applicants must live in or work in either Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, or Perry County at the time of judging.

How often can I be considered? 

You can be nominated, and apply annually but you will no longer be considered once you have been a winner once. 

Who are the judges and what are they looking for when selecting Icon Honors winners?

Winners are selected by CPBJ Staff. Judges look for Central PA’s business leaders over the age of 60 who have left an indelible mark in their fields, and whose integrity, vision and selfless service have lifted up the Central Penn community. It is helpful to have at least one letter of recommendation from someone that can speak to all three of these achievements.

Where do I have to live to qualify for this award? 

You must live or work in one of the following counties: Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, or Perry.

Should I have a letter of recommendation sent?

Past judges have told us that the letter(s) of recommendation is helpful particularly when they are not familiar with the candidate. Up to 3 letters of recommendations can be emailed to cpbj[email protected]. Please save all letters of recommendation as PDFs labeled with your name (or organization) led by the category or event you are being nominated for. The letter will be paired to your application when it is received.
