**Public Interest Registry (PIR), the nonprofit manager of .ORG, has launched its
own awards for all users of the domain.**

The [.ORG Impact Awards](https://orgimpactawards.org/) 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.
