Through this form, you can submit a nomination for one of the following three awards:

TOM ROBERTS PRIZE FOR CREATIVE ACHIEVEMENT IN THE HUMANITIES
Recognizes an individual or organization whose work blends the wisdom and methods of the humanities in inventive, original, and imaginative ways with topics, disciplines, and formats not ordinarily associated with traditional humanities education.

INNOVATION IN THE HUMANITIES AWARD
Recognizes the innovative implementation of the humanities within an organization or a collaborative partnership between organizations to achieve a shared vision.

PUBLIC HUMANITIES SCHOLAR AWARD
Recognizes outstanding public humanities work in teaching and scholarship that advances the civic and cultural life of Rhode Island.

Awards will be presented at the Council's Celebration of the Humanities event in October 2020. Due to the uncertainty resulting from the public health crisis, the date and location are still being determined.
