Award Nominations

We are seeking nominations of those who have made substantial international contributions to our field. In particular, we are encouraging nominations of those who reflect the diversity of the ISPA membership and who expand the scope of representation in the performing arts.

Process

Nominations for the Distinguished Artist Award, International Citation of Merit, Patrick Hayes Award, and Angel Award are solicited annually from the ISPA membership. For the Distinguished Artist Award, a nomination may also be received from the Congress Planning Committee.

All eligible nominations are reviewed by the Nominating Committee which recommends a slate of nominees for Board approval.

Eligibility

In considering your nomination, please note that:

• You must be an ISPA member in good standing to submit a nomination;
• ISPA staff and currently sitting board members are not eligible award recipients;
• Awards are not granted posthumously
