Skidmore Prize

Every year, with the exception of 2020, Willamette Week has honored four Portlanders age 35 and under who work for local nonprofits and make a significant impact in the community. 

Each winner of the coveted Skidmore Prize wins a $4,000 cash prize and a golden ticket to participate in G!G, as well as public recognition for their hard work and accomplishments. 

Winners are selected from a pool of applicants nominated by their peers and coworkers.  See the amazing archive of winners here!
