Nominees will be revealed on February 19, the same day voting opens. The teacher receiving the most online votes will be recognized during Manilow’s concert and will receive a total prize of $10,000 - a $5,000 cash award and $5,000 in “Manilow Bucks” for classroom instrument purchases. Voting closes on March 19.
