How it works
1. Gnominate Someone
Know someone making MAGIC in Happy Valley?
Gnominate a friend, neighbor, teacher, coach, volunteer, business owner, city employee, student, or anyone making our community better.
MAGIC stands for:
Making a Difference
Acts of Kindness
Generosity
Inspiring Others
Community Service
2. They Receive the Golden Gnomie
If selected, they'll receive the Golden Gnomie Award and keep it for one week to display proudly outside or inside of their home.
We'll also share the kind words from the person who gnominated them.
3. We Capture Their Story
A short video spotlight (about 1–2 minutes) highlights:
Who they are
What keeps them busy
Why they love Happy Valley
How they're making MAGIC in the community
Participation is optional. People may choose to be featured, share a photo, or simply pass the Gnomie along.
4. They Gnominate Someone Else
Before the Golden Gnomie moves on, each recipient chooses the next person to recognize.
One act of appreciation leads to another.
