"Coming Up Taller" Seeks Nominations

The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) is inviting nominations for its 2005 Coming Up Taller Awards. In partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Coming Up Taller Awards recognize the accomplishments of after-school and out-of-school programs and activities across the country. With its $10,000 award, Coming Up Taller also assists organizations, furthers knowledge, and encourages development of future programs.

At the 2004 Coming Up Taller awards ceremony, Mrs. Laura Bush remarked that “the arts and humanities are critical building blocks for a child's development and they provide a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning … The study of the arts and humanities gives children the chance to be extraordinary -- the power to be themselves.” Nomination forms are available at the Coming Up Taller Web site at www.cominguptaller.org or contact the President’s Committee at 202-682-5409 for more information. A list of the 2004 winners can also be found at the Coming Up Taller Web site as well. Deadline: Nominations must be postmarked by March 24, 2005 .
