2009 Asian Heritage Awards Nominations are closed
Each year, we ask the community to recommend the best and brightest in 15 categories, ranging from education to community service.
This year, we received 119 nominations, more than double from 2008.
Nominee’s names will be placed on a ballot and uploaded to our website www.AsianHeritageAwards.com midnight May 8 for members of the community to select someone in each category worthy of recognition. Those names will be announced during a gala, star-studded ceremony Saturday, July 25, 2009 aboard the USS Midway in San Diego. The event, this year titled “Legacy and Legends,” also pays special tribute to Major General Antonio Taguba, a profile in courage for revealing conditions at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The topic of torture and mistreatment of prisoners has stirred debate throughout the country in recent days following the release of secret memos authorizing the CIA to carry out questionable interrogation techniques.
