To be inducted into the Beloit Hall of Fame, “…individuals whose efforts and vision for a better community distinguished themselves during their lifetime by making a significant contribution to the greater good of our Beloit area and its citizens, this Nation, and mankind, or otherwise brought fame to our community irrespective of their residence at the time of death.” The Hall now numbers of 200 notable men and women and housed in the Lincoln Center.
