The Delphos Herald is searching for the 2012 Tri-county Area Man and Woman of the Year.

Nominees should deserve the title “Man of the Year” and “Woman of the Year” by way of public service and community involvement.

A panel of judges not associated with the newspaper will decide the winners.

Judges will evaluate nominees based on written recommendations.

Tri-county residents and civic, church and social organizations are urged to submit nominations.

Recommendations must be received by 5 p.m. Dec. 12 in The Delphos Herald newsroom, 405 N. Main St., Delphos, OH 45833, or e-mail nominations to nspencer@delphosherald.com.
