Nominate someone in Fort Collins we’d love to shine a light on.
They give so much to others — now it’s their turn. A thoughtful color and style experience created to celebrate the people who quietly hold our Fort Collins community together.
A Love Letter to Our Fort Collins Community
This is our Fort Collins take on a Queer Eye–inspired color + style experience — focused on care, dignity, and right timing.
This isn’t about a makeover. It’s about helping someone feel like themselves again. We’re inviting nominations for people who quietly give so much to the Fort Collins community.
We’re looking for people who:
Give more than they receive
Rarely prioritize themselves
Are at a moment of transition or burnout
Would never nominate themselves
(Think: teachers, nonprofit leaders, caregivers, community builders.)
Who You Might Nominate
You don’t need a dramatic story — just someone local with a real heart.
You might nominate:
A teacher shaping young lives in Fort Collins
A nonprofit leader or volunteer serving the local community
A caregiver, parent, or mentor who’s always last on their own list
Someone navigating a big life shift who deserves support
This experience is slow, respectful, and human.
There are no surprises. Nothing happens without consent.
If selected, the participant will:
receive a personal color analysis
get gentle guidance around clothing, makeup, and self-expression
have space to ask questions and reflect (nothing is rushed)
collaborate on choices that feel right to them
leave with practical tools they can keep using — not a costume or a “new identity”

What Happens Next
Steps
You submit a short nomination
We review submissions with care and intention
Selected nominees are contacted directly for a color analysis + style experience.
This experience centers dignity, timing, and trust — never pressure or “makeover” energy.
