'The Philadelphia Citizen' seeks a Citizen of the Year

Last year, our inaugural Citizen of the Year Awards was a joyful celebration of what it means to be a good citizen. It was The Philadelphia Citizen's version of the ESPY Awards — not for athletes, but for residents who work tirelessly, often without recognition, to better our city and world.

And we’re doing it again!

We are launching our search for the newest Citizens of the Year. Who do you think we should honor this time?

Let us know in and stay tuned for information about our Citizen of the Year Awards celebration, to be held on January 30, 2025.
