Public Interest Registry (PIR), the nonprofit manager of .ORG, has launched its own awards for all users of the domain.
The .ORG Impact Awards offer prizes of up to $5,000 for the winning nominations, which can be located anywhere globally, and recognise and celebrate individuals and organisations that have a connection to a registered .ORG domain for their contributions, achievements and the impact they have made in their communities.
The awards fall into three categories: individual, sector, and initiative with a deadline of 12 July for nominations.
The Individual Award Category recognises the personal contribution of one person in support of their organisation (which must use a .ORG domain) or to the broader community and/or mission under which the organisation operates. The awards in this category are:
- Innovator Award
- Rising Star Award
- Outstanding Volunteer
The Sector Award Category will recognise one organisation under the following three awards:
- .ORG Non-profit of the Year
- .ORG Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme of the Year
- .ORG Community Group of the Year
The Initiative Award Category will recognise .ORGs for programmatic initiatives that support broader organisational goals, and have a focus on online-based initiatives:
