Candidates for Onyx Awards
nomination come from all
parts of the state.
Past nominees have come from
Orlando, Jacksonville,
Panama City, Ocala,
Gainesville, Leesburg,
Tampa, Cocoa, Fort
Lauderdale, Tallahassee,
West Palm Beach, Temple
Terrace, and Miami.
Names are suggested to the
presenting entity, Onyx
Magazine.
As a result of the Northeast
Area Community Awards and
the Space Coast Area
Community Awards, winners in
each of five competitive
categories are invited to
the statewide event in
Orlando, the remaining two
in each of five categories
are chosen randomly from the
state at large.
To eliminate biased
selection of winners, judges
are selected from across the
United States (none from
Florida). The judges
do not communicate with each
other––they don’t know each
other. Each judge
tabulates his or her
findings and emails the
results directly to Florida
Trophy in Orlando.
They then tabulate the
findings of the judges and
engrave the names of the
winners on the plate to be
placed on the appropriate
trophy. No one
connected with Onyx
Magazine, LBS Foundation or
the committee members knows
the winner until it is
announced the night of the
Onyx Awards.
All Onyx Awards nominees
are worthy winners of
the Ovation Trophy.
Unfortunately, there is
only one trophy per
category. The nominees
must not only be
achievers in their
profession, they must
also have used their
time and talent
unselfishly in giving
back to the community.
