This year, the iBIO Institute is adding a special category to the iCON Awards roster. We created the iCON Community Award to honor an iBIO member organization for making a meaningful impact in Illinois communities. Whether it’s expanding access to STEM education or improving public health, we want to hear about it.
Nominations for the iCON Community Award will be accepted until Friday, July 6 at 11:59 p.m. You can submit a nomination using the form below.
The iBIO Board of Directors will select five finalists from among the nominees. iBIO members will have a chance to vote for their favorite submission during the month of August. The winner will be announced at the 12th Annual iCON Awards on October 2nd at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
If you have questions about the nomination and selection process, please send to mnaleway@ibio.org
