2025 Michael Merritt Awards

We need your Recommendations!

Hello, friends and colleagues! The Michael Merritt Awards are on May 19th, and we are finally opening our recommendation link.

Now. If you are wondering if we are a little later than usual this year – let’s be honest, we are. (It has been a tough year to run an all-volunteer organization). But we are committed to having a great event – and with your help, we can and we will.

And so – as we do every year – we ask you, the community, to help us select the professionals, students, and organizations who are most deserving of recognition in our industry. Since we are a little pressed for time, we humbly ask that you submit your recommendations right away. By responding without delay, you will help us get caught up and ensure a wonderful celebration. We sincerely thank you in advance.

The awards for this year are:

• The Michael Merritt Award for Excellence in Design and Collaboration
• The Michael Maggio Designer Award
• The Arts Advocacy Award
• The Robert Christen Award
• The Early Career Technical Collaborator Award

(Each of these links can be viewed for more details on each award).
