Common Folk Awards 2011

On October 16th from 8 to 10pm One Common Unity will be holding their monthly Common Folk: Voices of a Movement Open Mic Night at Bus Boys and Poets. This month's theme will be the Military Industrial Complex.

In 2011, One Common Unity has been hosting the Voices of a Movement Community Open Mics on the 3rd Sunday of every month at Bus Boys and Poets in Washington, D.C at their 5th and K location. Those performing during the open mic are asked to compose, write and/or share work that is related to the topic of that particular show.

One Common Unity believes it is equally important to tell the stories of our heroes. The ones doing little things in great ways... everday... to make the world a better place. The stories of some of those inspiring people are found within these pages. Through the Common Folk Awards, we wish to connect you with their stories, their work, their vision, their hopes and dreams.

This year's Common Folk Awards will be held on December 6th at the Gala Theatre in Washington, DC. Awards are given out for best film, greenest business, peace builder, song, performance artist and more!

Nominations for the Common Folk Awards can be made by anyone and this year the people will decide the winners. Via an online poll you can choose which nominee best deserves the Common Folk Award for their category.
