The Drupal Community Working Group is pleased to announce that nominations for the 2025 Aaron Winborn Award are now open. This is your chance to recognize someone for their service, integrity, kindness, and above-and-beyond commitment to the Drupal community.
In addition to receiving a physical award, winners of the award also receive a scholarship and travel stipend for them to attend DrupalCon North America and recognition in a plenary session at the event.
Nominations are now open to everyone in the Drupal community! Whether someone has made an impact locally, regionally, or across the globe, we want you to nominate them. If you know someone who’s made a meaningful difference, big or small, now’s the perfect chance to recognize their contributions.
The Aaron Winborn Award was established to honor the legacy of Aaron Winborn, a long-time Drupal contributor whose battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease ended on March 24, 2015. Inspired by a suggestion from Hans Riemenschneider (https://www.drupal.org/u/nonprofit), the Community Working Group, with the support of the Drupal Association, created this award to celebrate individuals who embody Aaron's spirit and dedication.
Nominations are open until Friday, March 21, 2025.
A committee consisting of the Community Working Group members (Conflict Resolution Team) as well as past award winners will select a winner from the nominations.
* Current members of the CWG Conflict Resolution Team and previous winners are not eligible for winning the award.
Previous winners of the award are:
- 2015: Cathy Theys
- 2016: Gábor Hojtsy
- 2017: Nikki Stevens
- 2018: Kevin Thull
- 2019: Leslie Glynn
