  Each year, the Open Media Foundation hosts an event to celebrate independent voices in Denver. Pete Turner and Virgil Dickerson of Illegal Pete's and the Greater Than Collective are this year's co-recipients of the 2014 Independent Voice of the Year Award, recognizing their roles in promoting positive social change through media. The Open Media Foundation is also honoring nonprofit organizations the Book Trust and the Second Wind Fund, both of which worked with OMF in 2014.

 The awards will be presented at this year's Independent Voices Celebration, starting at 7 pm on Friday, December 5, at 700 Kalamath Street. The event will also be televised on Denver Open Media, Comcast Channel 57, and feature live musical and comedy performances (see below).
