About the awards

The Golden Grower Philanthropy Award goes to a person, couple, family, and/or group exemplifing the spirit of social change giving through generous financial contributions to grassroots efforts. Golden growers set an example by cultivating new ideas, watering the roots, and providing the fertilizer that helps grow justice and equality for all Maine people.

The Social Landscape Artist Award goes to a person, couple, family, and/or group who has significantly changed the social landscape in Maine through work on the root causes of economic, environmental, or social problems by devising creative solutions, influencing others to take action, shifting public thinking or policy, or having an impact on the lives of Maine people and its environment.

Entertainment
