The LIRT Librarian Recognition Award

The ALA Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is calling for nominations for the LIRT Librarian Recognition Award (which recognises a practicing librarian's contributions to information literacy education) and the LIRT Innovation in Instruction Award (presented to a library for its innovative approach to information literacy education). Submissions can be from any type of library. 
Winners will receive a US $1,500 award for Librarian recognition or US $2,000 for Innovation in Instruction and  US $1,000 stipend to be used to attend the 2026 ALA Annual Conference. Deadline is 15 January 2026. 
You can self-nominate for either award, and it does not say that the awards are restricted to people/libraries in the USA (though all the ones listed from 2014 were in the USA - but perhaps there weren't enough applicants from elsewhere!)
