The Prize
Each year, the Robert G. Wilmers Integrity Prize honors an individual striving to better our world in a different field. Integrity in leadership and service to community are at the forefront of our search.
Efforts in the arts, education, environment, law, medicine, nutrition, social justice, and social reform are eligible for the $50,000 award. The two runners-up will each receive $5,000. You can apply for yourself or nominate another person for the prize.
