The city of West Hollywood is accepting nominations for its 23rd Annual Disability Service Awards. The virtual awards presentation will take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 27.
Since 1999, the city has presented the Disability Service Awards.

Nominations will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 6. Self-nominations are welcome. Honorees will be selected by the City of West Hollywood’s Disabilities Advisory Board.
Nomination forms are available at weho.org/disabilityserviceawards. Forms may be sent to dnguyen@weho.org. Hard-copy forms may be mailed to Doug Nguyen, Social Services Division, City of West Hollywood, City Hall, 8300 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069.
The city of West Hollywood’s Disabilities Advisory Board was created in 1995 and has nine members.
