Busting Sigourney Award Myths

Myth 1: I can't win the Award until I've worked for 20+ years. 
The Sigourney Award has never been a lifetime achievement award. In fact, Mary Sigourney specifically required that eligible work must be accomplished within 10 years of the award year. For 2022, only work completed between 2011 – 2021 can be considered.

Myth 2: I can only apply every three years, in English. 
There is no longer a geographic rotation for applications. Organizations, groups, and individuals may submit work for consideration each year from anyplace in the world in ~150 languages (via our online translation).

Myth 3: My work must be nominated for the Award. 
You do NOT need a nomination to apply. All applicants, whether they are nominated or applying directly for the Award, must complete the same application process. Feel free to nominate or encourage others to apply.

If you believe your work or that of another individual, team or organization is deserving of The Sigourney Award, please visit or share this page: https://www.sigourneyaward.org/apply
