Your participation in the awards process by nominating worthy candidates is very important. You will find information and forms to guide you in your consideration of candidates for these awards. The forms may be copied for anyone who wishes to make a nomination. The Virginia Prince and Trinity Awards are the transgender community s highest awards. Although these awards are sponsored and coordinated by IFGE, they are not intended to be IFGE s awards.
Nominations are open to the entire transgender community.
The final selection is made by a committee of respected members and friends of the community who have agreed to serve on the Selections Academy and vote for the recipients. Since the nominations are made by the transgender community at large, and the final selections are made by the Academy, these awards are truly the Transgender Community Awards. Eight months before the Annual IFGE Convention, a call for nominations is sent to IFGE members and members and friends of the transgender community. Nominations are returned to the Chair of the Awards Committee. Six months prior to the Convention, the Awards Committee prepares and mails ballots for the two awards to the Selection Academy.
