You make the introduction
Send a name, a connection to the community, and the reason they deserve recognition. A heartfelt story matters more than a polished pitch.
Introducing the Local Faces series
You know someone who makes this place better. Help us tell their story through thoughtful portraits, short features, and beautifully designed cards made to be shared.
Community nominations. Independent editorial selection.
New series.
Clear commitments.
Nominations are considered on their story, not a sponsorship purchase.
We ask featured people for permission before publishing their words and portrait.
Sponsors see actual engagement. No inflated audience claims or promised virality.
The making of a local story
The quiet volunteer. The longtime mentor. The neighbor who always shows up. Local Faces gives everyday contributions a place to be seen.
Tell us who comes to mindSend a name, a connection to the community, and the reason they deserve recognition. A heartfelt story matters more than a polished pitch.
Selected nominees receive a portrait-led feature: roughly 150 words and a branded graphic card that friends and family can easily share. Our launch plan starts with one feature a week.
Our planned Year One edition brings the features together in a print or PDF collection—a record of the people who made a difference close to home.
For local businesses
Support the storytelling, not the selection. We’re planning three founding sponsor slots, with proposals grounded in the reach, shares, and comments from our first features.
