The Virginia Communications Hall of Fame is seeking nominees for its 2015 class of inductees.

The Hall of Fame seeks to induct people born in Virginia or born elsewhere who have become distinctively identified with Virginia who have made outstanding long-term contributions in the field of communications.

The Hall of Fame, established by the Richard. T. Robertson School of Media and Culture at VCU (formerly School of Mass Communications) in 1986, recognizes individuals who have shown exceptional achievement in the fields of print journalism, broadcast journalism, public relations, advertising, digital, social and interactive media, communications arts and communications education. The Hall of Fame has 151 members.

Nominations must be received by Nov. 15 and should include:

• A letter of nomination that identifies the nominee and describes, in as much detail as possible, the professional contributions to communication of the nominee as well as the nominee’s Virginia connection.
  
  
• Contact information for the nominee (or, if deceased, of one of the nominee’s family members) including address, telephone and email address.
  
  
• Names and contact information for at least two individuals whom the Hall of Fame Selection Committee could contact for additional information on behalf of the nominee.

Although not required, it is recommended to submit additional letters of support for the nominee.
