SPIRIT OF DAKOTA AWARD

Statement of Purpose & Criteria
The Spirit of Dakota Award is an annual honor bestowed each fall by the Spirit of Dakota Award
Society at a state-wide event at the Crossroads Hotel & Huron Event Center. The Spirit of
Dakota award is given to:
 An outstanding South Dakota woman who has demonstrated leadership qualities and has
   been successful and admired in her community and state.
 A woman with roots deep in South Dakota whose courage and strength of character have
   helped develop her family and community.
 A woman who has represented social, cultural, and education advancement for others.
 This award is not Mother of the Year, nor Teacher of the Year, nor categorized but rather
   recognition of those outstanding women who have been the symbols of all that we are proud
   of in our Prairie Women.
 The nominee does not need to be a native of South Dakota, but must be a current, living
   resident of the state.

The Spirit of Dakota Art Show is held in conjunction with the Spirit of Dakota Award Celebration
& Banquet slated for the first Saturday of October at the Huron Event Center. First place
winners in the Art and Photography Divisions will have the opportunity to have their winning
entries chosen for display at the art show. The Spirit of Dakota Committee will select entries
based on need and space availability. For more information about this award go to
www.spiritofdakota.org
