Above: A few PRT Good Neighbor Award winners from previous years.

The 4th annual PRT Good Neighbor Award will recognize the efforts of residents who are making exceptional contributions to our communities. 

Do you have a good neighbor? Are there any unsung heroes in your community? Perhaps somebody has gone above and beyond the normal call of duty during these challenging times. Whether he or she has provided care and support for others, is always on hand when needed, performs acts of kindness, is an active volunteer in the community or has simply been a friendly face around your neighborhood, you can nominate them for the PRT Good Neighbor Award

If you know someone who resides in Canelo, Elgin, Patagonia or Sonoita who is deserving of this recognition, please nominate them by providing the following information: 

  • Your Name
  • Your Contact Information
  • Your Good Neighbor’s Name
  • Your Good Neighbor’s Contact Information
  • Why is this person a good neighbor? Share a short story about what this person means to the community and what they have done to make it a better place. The more details you share, the better! 

Mail your submission before December 30, 2025 to PRT, PO Box 1073, Patagonia AZ 85624, or email to editor@prtnews.org

The PRT Good Neighbor Award winners, and their nominators, will be featured in the February, 2026 issue of the PRT and will be presented with gift certificates to local businesses.
