NOMINATE SOMEONE YOU KNOW FOR AN AGLET AWARD 

“Aglets” are not very well known. They are the plastic thingies at the end of our shoelaces. Even though most people don’t think about them much, it would be hard to tie our shoes without them. 

Aglet Awards are for someone you know who provided critical support, leadership, insight, capacity, creativity, morale, or anything else that comes to mind, to help an important cause. When you nominate someone for an Aglet Award, they will be alerted that they have been nominated by someone who appreciated their work.

The top ten winners will be featured on the Aglet Awards website and receive a $100 cash prize. 

All nominations can remain anonymous and will provide feel-good vibes for free!  There is nothing to lose. Nominate someone(s) you admire and appreciate today.

The deadline to submit 2024 nominations is May 17, 2024. All nominees will be alerted in late May. The ten 2024 winners will be announced in June.
