Nominate an Educator for the 2026 UEA Excellence in Education Awards

Nominations are now open for the Utah Education Association’s Excellence in Education Awards! These awards recognize public education champions who make an undeniable difference for Utah students every day. If you know an educator whose work has made a marked impact, whether on an entire class or one individual student in a public school, submit their nomination. The deadline to nominate is Thursday, April 30.

Previously known as the Excellence in Teaching Awards, the program was renamed to reflect our commitment to honoring every individual who contributes to the success of public education in Utah. Winners will be celebrated at UEA’s Superstars in Education Awards Banquet in September. 

Help us shine a light on the people who lift students, strengthen schools, and set the standard for excellence.
