who decides who gets the kennedy center honors
Kennedy Center Honors Honoree recommendations are accepted from the general public,[10] and the Kennedy Center initiated a Special Honors Advisory Committee, which comprises two members of the Board of Trustees as well as past Honorees and distinguished artists. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees selects the Honoree recipients based on excellence in music, dance, theater, opera, motion pictures or television.[11] The selections are typically announced sometime between July and September.
