Best of State Award in the Arts and Entertainment category; Community Arts. Awards were presented by Shauna Lake

Center. Mountain West Ballet is
deeply honored with the Best of State Award recognition, as it feels this award
is a reflection of its mission and commitment in providing our community with
quality entertainment through the art and education of ballet. The Best of State Awards were created
in 2003 to recognize outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses in
Utah. Best of State candidates are evaluated by a panel of 100 judges based on
three criteria: achievement in the field of endeavor; innovation or creativity
in approaches, techniques, methods or processes; and contribution to improving
the quality of life in Utah. By recognizing excellence in our community and
sharing examples of success and triumph in so many worthy endeavors, it is
hoped that we will all be inspired to reach a little higher and strive to realize
our goals and dreams.
