Dear Readers:
As we near the end of the year 2016, we turn our minds to the pleasurable task of selecting, once again, THE CHIC SIKH OF THE YEAR.
The choice, of course, is collectively yours. We therefore invite you to post your selection in the COMMENT section below.
Looking at the stories we have covered on sikhchic.com this year, and the extraordinary persons and projects we have showcased in our various sections -- including CURRENT EVENTS, PEOPLE, SPORTS, HEROES, to name but a few -- there should be no dearth of possibilities.
This year, too, so many women, men and children -- individually and collectively -- have made an outstanding mark on the local, as well as the world scene, by living up to the highest ideals of Sikhi in helping make the world a better place for all of humanity.
We seek your help in choosing one who you think has best exemplified those ideals within her, his, or its field of endeavour, during the course of this year.
- Any woman, man, child, group, institution or corporation may be named.
- The nominee may be a Sikh or a non-Sikh.
- She, he or it may be based in any part of the world, the achievements being cited can be in any field of endeavour, and the activity being highlighted could be tied to any geographical area.
- The nominee could be named for one or more achievements, or a life-time of contribution, as long as the primary reason for naming her, him or the entity THE CHIC SIKH OF THE YEAR 2016 is significantly tied to the year 2016.
Please provide, along with the name of your nominee, your reasons -- in brief form -- why you are nominating or voting for the person or entity you've named.
Also, please do not fail to provide in the designated space your FULL name, as well as the name of your CITY and COUNTRY -- it helps readers to fully appreciate the context of your support.
You may nominate more than one choice, but we request that you limit yourself to one nomination in each posting. That is, your multiple nominations should be through separate postings in order to facilitate the selection process.
Please note: The merit of each nominee, not the number of votes in support, will help determine the final choice.
Please also note that no one on the staff or any of the boards that shape and guide sikhchic.com is eligible to be selected the winner.
The deadline for all nominations is strictly 9.00 pm (Toronto, Canada time), Monday, December 26, 2016.
All nominations will be posted on sikhchic.com.
The name of the Winner(s) - who will be selected by a panel of judges - will be announced on Sunday, January 1, 2017 on sikhchic.com and other media.
The list of past winners includes:
Marathoner Fauja Singh
Human Rights Activist Gurbaksh Singh
Canada’s Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan
Harvinder Singh Phoolka (Human Rights Advocate)
Jarnail Singh ('The Lion of Delhi')

Lt Brian Murphy
SALDEF
Saran Singh (Editor, The Sikh Review)
The Sikh Coalition

In closing, a suggestion: you may wish to skim over the postings from this year on sikhchic.com in its various sections to remind yourself of the rich goings-on during 2016.
We look forward to your participation in this year‘s selection.
