Make it too glorious, and they are charged with self-promotion.

Make it too simple, and no one will learn their stories. Knowing most of the WFA's, this is the more likely scenario.

Perhaps let the teams of the winners handle the displays. Who better to show off the virtues of these WFA winners, than the people who know them the best. They would have the most access to materials, photos and most importantly, inspirational stories involving the winner.

But a consitent design should be parmount.
Otherwise it'll look tacky and inconsistent.

A design contest for the overall 'look'?

That is a great suggestion!

Agreed. A standard template should be set, while the content is filled by the teams.

Someone with a graphic arts background should take charge of this project (if the contest idea doesn't work out).

Why not just add another wall the size of the ones given to the Chairmans HoF teams along the wall, or in the center of the wall and do a set up that way.
That way it will go along with the flow of the HoF decor and also be able to show off the WFA winners.

Then like was mentioned above have pictures of each WFA winner and under each on the essay that won them the WFA with a few extra pictures under each one and in the center of the display have a poster explaining what the WFA and who Woodie Flowers is with a picture of, or the actual award on a table or something. keeping it simple, flowing with the rest of the HoF and giving everyone the same amount of space and attention.

Just an idea.
I will do what ever I can to help get something done in the HoF for these great mentors.

I have some ideas, but i need to sketch them out

(sorry for the mostly pointless post, but since I'm in design I have to partake in this kind of project just too tired right now to put anything down)
