Do you know anyone who is trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, caring, and a great citizen? Consider nominating them for one of the Iowa Character Awards, presented by The Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University. Anyone can submit a nomination, and Iowa citizens (ages 10 years and older), organizations, and communities are eligible.

Since 2005, over 100 Iowans have been recognized for displaying good character. The nomination form is based on the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship

Recognition is being awarded in several categories and nominations are due May 11. Learn more in the Drake Newsroom.
