IOM3 Awards & Prizes

Celebrating distinguished achievement and contribution to our profession

Submit your nomination

IOM3 presents a range of Awards, Medals and Prizes to recognise personal achievement, for published work and for contributions to the Institute, knowledge, outreach and profession. 

 

The awards are in various categories, for individuals at different career stages, organisations, IOM3 members and non-members. The annual awards are presented at special occasions throughout the year, and some of our award winners deliver lectures to which all members are invited. Award nominations for the bulk of our awards open for entry in late autumn, with a deadline of the end of January and the winners are normally announced in May. The searchable list of awards shows which awards are currently open for nominations.
