2023 Gallimore Award Nomination Information

We are accepting nominations for this year's Robert Gallimore Distinguished Service Award. 

Named after the AP Chief of Bureau in Richmond between 1967 and 1985, the award honors a Virginia broadcaster for outstanding service in the public interest; a broadcaster –active or retired– who exemplifies a commitment to journalism and reflects honorably on the news profession. 

The person may be involved in station ownership, management or the actual gathering and/or broadcasting of news. Please see the list of past recipients of this prestigious award. 

Please send your nomination by Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, to David Foky, Gallimore Award Chair, at dfoky@nbc29.com, with a letter detailing your nominee's background and accomplishments, and why he/she should win the award. 

The award is contingent on the honoree being able to attend the VAPB Awards Luncheon to be held Saturday, Apr. 1, 2023, at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. A family member may accept the award on the recipient’s behalf if the award is given posthumously. If the winner cannot commit to coming, his/her nomination will be considered for next year’s Award. 

Thank you!
