Personal Achievement Awards
Recognition for personal achievement of individuals or organisations across all disciplines and career stages.
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.
Nominations are now invited for the 2025 IOM3 Awards & Prizes with a closing date of 28 February 2025 at 23:59GMT.
Nominate a colleague who is going above and beyond to recognise personal achievement, published work and contributions to the profession.
