Patch is Seeking Southwest 'Whiz Kids'

A new weekly feature will profile teens and kids working to improve their communities.

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the championship? They may be our next Patch "Whiz Kid" honorees.

Each week, Southwest Minneapolis Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. We want to hear about these amazing children and teens and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid. Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to jon.collins@patch.com. Be sure to include all of the following information:

  • Nominator's Name

  • Whiz Kid's Name    
  • Whiz Kid's Age
  • Whiz Kid's School
  • Whiz Kid's Accomplishment
  • Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness (what made him/her successful?)

If your nominee is selected, we'll contact you and assign a photographer to take a photo. For questions, e-mail jon.collins@patch.com.
