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.

Nominations close April 1, 2026.

A Love Letter to Our Fort Collins Community

This is our Fort Collins take on a Queer Eye–inspired color + style experience — rooted in compassion, care, and intentional transformation.

This isn’t about a makeover. It’s about shining a light on someone in our community who quietly gives so much to others.

Through personal color analysis and thoughtful styling, we help them discover the colors that light them up — inside and out — creating alignment between who they are and how they show up.

We’re inviting nominations for someone who deserves to feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

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

Who You Might Nominate

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 the Experience Looks Like

What Happens Next

Steps

  1. You submit a short nomination (by April 1, 2026)

  2. We review submissions with care and intention

  3. Selected nominees are contacted directly for a color analysis + style experience.

This experience centers dignity, timing, and trust — never pressure or “makeover” energy.
