The ProQuest/SIRS State and Regional Intellectual Freedom Achievement Award is given each year for the most innovative and effective intellectual freedom project covering a state or region. The award is sponsored by ALA’s Intellectual Freedom Roundtable and ProQuest and consists of a citation and $1,000. Programs may be one-time, one-year or ongoing/multi-year efforts.
Examples of eligible programs are statewide public relations initiatives to promote awareness of intellectual freedom, programmatic assistance to meet a broad-based censorship challenge, coalition building or education outreach efforts, or effective reorganization or management of an intellectual freedom committee.
State libraries or library associations, educational media associations or programs, legal defense funds, and intellectual freedom committees or coalitions and related parties are eligible for nomination by themselves or others.
Deadline for nominations is December 1.
