NWIR Awards

A great leader can easily recognize another great leader. You are invited to nominate individuals for one of these prestigious World Awards. NWIR is looking for industry contributors who raise up others in the industry and are respected by their peers. 

If you have worked with a dedicated professional who exhibits such traits, show them that they’re admired by nominating them. You can submit more than one nominee, so tell us why your nominee(s) should be considered for either of these prestigious awards! Winners will be announced at the 2026 NWIR Days conference in Las Vegas, Nevada!
