Oklahoma Heritage Association  
Being inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame is the highest honor an Oklahoman can receive from the state. Since the Oklahoma Hall of Fame’s inception in 1927, 621 accomplished individuals have received this commendation.  The names of the Hall of Fame members, as well as busts and portraits of these individuals, can be seen at the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum.  In addition, the inductees are recognized on granite monuments in the Heritage Plaza at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds.

Anyone can make a nomination to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, and nominees may be either living or deceased. To be eligible for nomination, the individual must:

  • Reside in Oklahoma or be a former resident of the state.
  • Have performed outstanding service to humanity, the State of Oklahoma and the United States.
  • Be known for their public service throughout the state.

Individuals who have never resided in Oklahoma may be nominated if they have been distinguished in their profession or if their public service has brought honor or distinction to Oklahoma or contributed to the state’s heritage.

2008 Oklahoma Hall of Fame nominations are due Friday, March 7, 2008.  Download the regular or posthumous forms below:
