About The Blaze Inclusion Awards

Since its inception, The Blaze Inclusion Awards have celebrated the achievements of those who actively fight against exclusion and advocate for equity and justice. The Trailblazer category specifically honors those whose efforts have led to substantial and radical changes towards inclusivity in their communities.

Purpose and Mission of the Blaze Inclusion Awards
The BIA was created to address the under-recognition of those who champion DEIB. Too often, efforts that drive real change towards a more equitable and inclusive society go unnoticed. The awards aim to change that by celebrating the achievements and raising awareness about the benefits of implementing intentional and measurable DEIB strategies.

Despite the growing acceptance, DEIB is still often seen as an optional luxury rather than an essential component within professional and community structures. The Blaze Inclusion Awards are part of a broader mission to shift this perspective and emphasize DEIB as a critical necessity.

Criteria for Nomination
Nominations are open to individuals, companies, and organizations from all sectors—public, private, and non-profit. To qualify, nominees must be based and actively operating in the country from which they are nominated. Each nominee undergoes a thorough background check to verify their genuine engagement and achievements in the DEIB space. Nominees found without substantive DEIB activities will be disqualified.
