Celebrating Southwestern Pennsylvanians Who Have Left Their Mark on America

January is for Nominations

Pittsburgh Walk of Fame moves from vision to reality in 2025! The Strip District Terminal has been announced as the location, and by year’s end its sidewalk will be embedded with the first group of bronze stars honoring people with ties to southwestern Pennsylvania who have made notable contributions to American culture. You can help determine who those inaugural honorees will be. Nominations will be accepted throughout January.

Nominees may be living or deceased, but they must meet two criteria: They must have been born in or have spent their formative or creative years in the 10-county Pittsburgh region commonly known as Southwestern Pennsylvania (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington and Westmoreland counties). And, their accomplishments must have had a national impact on America’s cultural heritage.

Names for consideration may be emailed to nominate@pittsburghwalkoffame.org or sent to
Pittsburgh Walk of Fame, P.O. Box 8127, Pittsburgh, PA 15217. Please also include the nominee’s field of expertise and/or major accomplishment, connection to the Pittsburgh region, and his or her national impact on American culture. In addition, we require contact information for the person making the nomination.

We look forward to your suggestions!
