REALTOR® Magazine is seeking nominations for the 11th annual Good Neighbor Awards. The program recognizes REALTORS® who’ve made an extraordinary commitment to community service.

Five winners will be announced in November in REALTOR® Magazine and at the 2010 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in New Orleans. The winners will receive a $10,000 grant for their community cause, national publicity, travel expenses to the convention and a crystal trophy. Five honorable mentions will each receive $2,500 grants.

“We all know that REALTORS® build communities,” says NAR President Vicki Cox Golder. “The Good Neighbor Awards gives us the opportunity to honor the very best of our REALTOR® volunteers who make an incredible commitment of their time and energy to help those in need.”

Last year’s winners contributed a combined total of nearly 8,000 hours to their causes and drew a standing ovation during NAR’s annual conference in San Diego. The 2010 Good Neighbor Awards is sponsored by Lowe’s. In addition to the grant money, each winner will receive a $2,000 Lowe’s gift card and each honorable mention will receive a $1,000 Lowe’s gift card.
