Take a look at your friends, family, co-workers and community members. We all know individuals and organizations who are great role models – they help our community, lead by example and consistently demonstrate good character. Our Iowa Character Awards give you a great opportunity to recognize them!
Nominations are accepted annually. Award recipients are chosen by a volunteer selection committee and honored at an awards banquet.
It is important to honor everyone who was nominated. All nominees will be recognized with a certificate and complimentary seats at the awards banquet.
Thanks to our friends at KDSM Fox 17 – a short video is made about each of the winners and is shown at the Iowa Character Awards banquet. Check out our winners videos on our YouTube Channel.
