Each winner will be selected by committee vote based on the nominees' contributions as athletes, scholars, and citizens. The award is named after Oklahoma native Allie Pierce Reynolds, one of the most dominant pitchers in Major League baseball while leading the New York Yankees to six World Series titles in the 1940s and 50s.

Mr. Reynolds was a business and civic leader for four decades in Oklahoma City after retiring from baseball after the 1954 season. He supported many Native causes throughout his life and was a proud Muscogee (Creek) citizen. Mr. Reynolds played a integral role in the establishment of the Red Earth Festival in 1987.  

This year’s Allie P. award winners will be announced in mid-April, and each winner will receive an award and $1,000 scholarship. 

Taybor Moss and Kael Siemers were the inaugural recipients of the Allie P. Reynolds Citizenship Award. They were honored for their achievement at a ceremony at the First Americans Museum (FAM) in Oklahoma City.
