IPC AWARDS
AWARDS
The IPC recognises and values the granting of awards as an important tool to give personal and public recognition to the achievements and contributions of those within the Paralympic Movement who contribute towards the IPC’s vision both on and off the field of play.
The IPC encourages its members to identify and nominate suitable candidates for IPC awards, at the relevant time, and for any other relevant external award that increases the visibility of the Paralympic Movement.
Paralympic Games Appreciation Award
THE PARALYMPIC HONOUR
The Paralympic Honour is awarded to high-ranking dignitaries and officials partnering with the Paralympic Movement who have contributed significantly to the Paralympic Movement.
The Paralympic Honour will normally be presented at a reception or protocol event. Nominations may be submitted by IPC Members and members of the Governing Board and Athletes’ Council, and the IPC will send an invitational letter and a nomination form, including the timelines and criteria. The decision to award the Paralympic Honour is at the sole discretion of the Governing Board.
