The McHenry County Music Center recently announced that nominations for the fourth annual Marie Ann Vos Music Leadership Award are now being accepted.

Marie Ann Vos, who passed away earlier this year after a brief illness, was the founder of the music center. This award was created in her name to honor this achievement and more. The center is celebrating its 35th anniversary this season.

There is no formal application form. In your nomination letter, please include your name and contact information, the name and contact information for the nominee, along with your bio and the reason you feel your candidate meets the above criteria to receive this recognition.

The successful candidate will be announced at the McHenry County Youth Orchestras Pop's Concert at the Woodstock North High School on March 1, 2015 and presented with the official plaque.

The 2014 recipient of the MAV Music Leadership Award was Ed Hall.
