The Image Advisory Commission selects the award winners from the nominations made earlier this year. The five award categories are: citizenship, individual professional, individual volunteer, organizations or businesses and special projects. The nominations and subsequent Image Awards are based on the nominees' contributions to improving Elgin's image. The Citizenship Award recognizes individuals who are outstanding examples of good citizens.
Although family members of commissioners are not eligible for the Image Awards, city employees may be nominated for contributions outside of their city positions. Organizations that receive city funding are eligible, as well as previous award winners whose last award was five or more years ago.
