Music Center Seeks Bravo Award Nominees

The education division of the Los Angeles Music Center is seeking nominations for its Bravo Award, which honors teachers and schools for outstanding arts education. The Bravo Award recognizes innovation and creativity in arts education.

Nominees should be educators who use the arts to revitalize teaching, enhance student achievement and foster self-esteem, communication and teamwork.

Awards are presented to one general-subject teacher, one teacher working specifically on an arts subject and to one school.

The final deadline for nominations is Sept. 9. Those nominated will be required to submit applications, which must be postmarked by Oct. 7. Workshops to help the nominees complete the award application will be offered from 10 a.m. to noon July 18 and Aug. 21 in the education division’s office, 717 W. Temple St., Los Angeles. Nominations should be sent to the same address.

The award, which includes a cash prize of up to $5,000, will be presented at a dinner March 3 in Los Angeles. All nominees receive gifts of books, performance tickets and educational materials.
