Individuals or organizations who received an IGCS award at any time in the past may not be considered for the same award at any time. Current IGCS Board Members are not eligible to be nominated.

Award nominations will be reviewed by the members of the Awards and Nominations Committee who are responsible for developing a slate of finalists for the IGCS Board of Directors to review and vote upon for final selection.

Recognition of IGCS’ organizational award recipients will occur during the IGCS Annual Global Meeting in Cape Town, South Africa between November 5-7. All award recipients will be announced through IGCS’ communications channels prior to the meeting. Award recipients will be granted complimentary registration to attend the IGCS Annual Global Meeting.
