The city of Chula Vista announced Friday that it was seeking nominees for its 2024 “Veteran of the Year” award.

Those nominated must live or work within Chula Vista, have been honorably discharged from the United States military, and have made significant contributions to the community since, according to the city.

The award is “a testament to the incredible individuals who have served our nation and continue to make a difference in our community,” said Nimpa Akana, chair of the city Veterans Advisory Commission, which assists in the nomination process.

More information and the nomination form can be found here.

Nominations are due by Aug. 1.
