Dear Sir or Madam,

I noticed a nomination request for the Mayor’s Art Award in The Highlander and thought it would be the perfect outlet to share my feelings about a local company I have seen grow and become more professional over the past ten years. That company is Bitter Jester Creative.

It is often-times the non money-making aspect of a company that produces the most glowing product: quality, professional work. But this is also the hardest thing to do since one also needs to make a living. I truly understand the struggle these young men have undergone over the last ten years and believe that your arts award could not be given to a more qualified company than Bitter Jester Creative. They deserve all the help and support we can give. And while I will personally keep sponsoring their shows, an award such as this would lend prestige not only to BJC but also to future award recipients and to the Arts Commission itself. Bitter Jester Creative is truly a shining example of everything the artistic community of Highland Park has to offer and should be proud of.
