Mission on to Find out Who Has the Most Rural Spirit

Longtime marketing-communications agency Osborn Barr Paramore (OBP), which has served the agriculture and rural industry for more than three decades, is accepting nominations for its second annual Rural Spirit Awards.

The winners will be chosen across three categories:

1. The Rural Advocacy Award category celebrates an individual who proudly embodies the heart of rural America. Any potential Rural Advocacy Award recipient should be an integral part of their community – working hard to spur economic development, create jobs and advocate for growth.

2. The Community Service Award category honors an individual who exhibits the rural spirit through exceptional service in the name of community growth. Any potential Community Service Award recipient should demonstrate a willingness to go above and beyond – selflessly donating their time and support in an effort to positively influence their local community.

3. The Next Gen Award category recognizes an individual from an up-and-coming generation (21 years of age or under). Any potential Next Gen Award recipient should demonstrate uncommon leadership through community service efforts or innovative thinking throughout their rural community.
