The Drum Honors · Nomination
The city has heard your signal.
Recognizing the builders, keepers, creators, and leaders carrying the diaspora forward. Nominations are weighed on documented impact, evidence, excellence, character, and legacy — never popularity, payment, politics, fame, or relationships. Earned prominence, not purchased placement.
Nominations open the 1st–15th of each month · Beacon-assisted review follows · honorees selected on the last day and featured for 14 days. Cash or cash-equivalent awards may be provided by sponsors where available.

The Case for Excellence
Numbers carry weight: people served, funds raised, years of service.
Links to articles, videos, awards, press, or testimonials strengthen the case.
