The Carlton County Citizen Historian Award is a new joint endeavor intended to promote awareness of and engagement in history as an agent of community building. Three award categories will be rotated each year to recognize the important roles community members can play in creating community connection and cohesion by activating local history. 

All Carlton County residents ages 12+ are eligible to be nominated. One awardee per year will be chosen to receive a $500 cash prize and announced at a public awards ceremony.
