Each month, we’ll select 10 finalists from your nominations. Then you’ll vote to tell us who YOU think should be the Brotherton Community Champion for that month. A documentary short produced by a local filmmaker will highlight each monthly champion and the top three shorts (voted on by you), will be shown at the 2010 Seattle International Film Festival.
The voting results are judged on this criteria...

"She is a role model to many, as young adolescents and even adults look up to her for so many reasons... But the biggest is confidence. She shows so much determination, boldness and poise in her daily life, as well as in her line of work, it is only natural to want to duplicate that type of attitude. She enjoys giving back to others, and thinking of awesome ideas to make herself stand out from others" - B. Miller
"Christy Pelland doesn't make a living doing her job. She makes a life. She lives to build relationships in the community she serves. Her ability to bring people together for a common cause or goal is contagious and inspiring. Whether she is photographing a wedding, a local event, a newborn, senior portrait; she captures in images what words cannot." - R. Stewart
"Christy Pelland makes zero excuses and has made these aspirations a lifestyle. Not only is she a fabulous mom, wife, friend, business owner, but she is a CLASS ACT HUMANITARIAN. She is constantly thinking of ways to incorporate her talents of art and photography into ideas and events for others." -H. Hines
Thank you to everyone who submits there nominee, and votes!!
