International Code Council Awards Program

Building safety professionals are rarely celebrated for the important work they do. Each year, the International Code Council (ICC) recognizes these unsung heroes for their contributions to the building safety industry with awards highlighting their achievements in several areas including leadership, innovation, and community service. The awards are presented at various events, including but not limited to the ICC Annual Conference, which generally takes place in the fall.

The 2026 nomination period is open. The deadline for all submissions is March 15, 2026.
