The call for nominations is now open. See https://awards.oeglobal.org/ for an overview of the award categories and details on the process.
But most importantly, look for the red button to submit a nomination.
Together we stand for a world of openness where knowledge is openly and freely accessible. The Open Education Global acknowledges these efforts, alliances and collaborations through the 2021 OEAwards categories.
Again, we will be planning a series of posts here giving insight into the different categories. But for now review them and start reflecting on who/what to nominate.

Special Awards
The Open Education Awards for Excellence provide annual recognition to outstanding contributions in the Open Education community. While the core categories (individual, resources & practices) remain the same each year, we always look for ways to reflect new trends and emerging innovations in the Open Education Movement.
- Open Resilience Award
- Unesco OER Implementation
We hope these categories start planting seeds of ideas for who/what you might nominate for 2021 Open Education Award for Excellence.
