2015 Daring to Dream Award Artwork Competition Submission Guidelines
Every other year, the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies recognizes individuals or organizations whose vision and leadership contribute to making the dream of inclusive communities a reality for individuals with disabilities and their families.
The Daring to Dream Awards were initiated in 2002 as part of the Center’s 10th Anniversary celebration. The original stained glass award used from 2002 through 2007 was designed by local artisan, Lisa Raven. In 2012, the Center’s 20th Anniversary Daring to Dream Award featured an original abstract painting by Spindleworks artist, Terri Snape.
