There are two categories of nominations for the DCI Hall of Fame, namely the Legacy & Contemporary categories. Elected candidates will be inducted into one Hall of Fame, however, the nominations will be voted upon separately in these two distinct categories. You can distinguish the desired category, however, the DCI Hall of Fame Committee will make the ultimate decision as to whether a candidate is placed in Legacy or Contemporary within the framework of the rules.
Any person who has been a longtime contributor of 20 years or more within the activity and/or those who have been out of the activity for a minimum of 10 years will be considered in this category.
A longtime contributor is, for example but not limited to, a director, CEO, tour director, board member, writer, arranger, guard instructor, teaching staff, etc. Through the vetting process of the applications, the DCI Hall of Fame Selection Committee will use 20 years or more within the activity and/or those who have been out of the activity for a minimum of 10 years as its initial benchmark, be the final arbiter of any question of “principal role,” and determine whether or not the candidate is eligible for the Legacy Category.
