The Giraffe Awards aim to recognize those who have stuck their neck out in an effort to fight corruption or mistreatment in the workplace.

Often in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles or challenges while facing criticism and anger. Categories for the nominee’s contributions are Government/Military, Private sector/Industry, Academia, COVID-19, and Supporter/Ally. There is no time frame that the nominees’ contributions must be within, so take a moment to recognize someone special because courage comes in all colors and spots!
