EANC Awards
The Estonian American National Council’s Awards Program recognizes exceptional individuals or organizations in America who should be noted for their contributions to Estonia or to the Estonian-American community, or to the broader American community in a way that has some connection to Estonia or the Estonian people. Formal awards are done every two to three years.
The awards can recognize many different kinds of contributions. Estonian-American individuals can be recognized for outstanding achievements, or for distinguished service related to Estonia or Estonian-American activities, including for outstanding contributions to the EANC. Organizations can be recognized for their outstanding contributions to Estonia or to the Estonian-American community. In 2016, eligibility was expanded to include Americans not of Estonian descent who may have made contributions to Estonia or the Estonian American community. As these awards are meant to recognize truly outstanding contributions, EANC will not necessarily give awards in all the above categories. Selections of recipients will be made by the EANC board.
