The Broadway Walk of Stars recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the Broadway area. Initiated in 2004, the program is named after the late Greg Botting, one of the Broadway Business Improvement District's past Chairs and a successful and highly active Broadway merchant. Categories include: builder, merchant, leader, supporter and artist. Please see the application form below for defining criteria in each category.
These stars will be recognized with a plaque which is installed on Broadway Avenue and unveiled at a ceremony organized by the Walk of Stars Committee. The exact location and date of the installation will be determined by the Committee in collaboration with the honouree or his/her nominator.
All costs incurred in the manufacturing and installation of the star will be covered by the Walk of Stars Fund. Any reception, gala or event held in conjunction with the placement of the star, notwithstanding the brief ceremony at the site of the unveiling, will be organized and paid for by the nominee, nominator or friends and family.
Should any party involved wish to contribute to the WOS Fund, a charitable tax receipt will be issued in the full amount. Donations will not influence the selection process; stars will be selected based wholly on the merit of the application.
Submissions for the WOS will be accepted at the BBID office on an on-going basis throughout the year. Thank you to those who have submitted nominations for the 2010 Star thus far. The deadline for 2009 nominations is fast approaching. Please submit your entry before June 15, 2010.
