The Literacy Texas Annual Awards are an opportunity to show your admiration and affection for those you work alongside. Nominations open early in the year and close in late spring. Awardees are traditionally recognized at the Literacy Texas Annual Conference.
Show your pride in student achievement and your appreciation for volunteers by nominating them for one of these statewide awards.
2023 nominations are now closed.
Awardees (one in each category) will be invited to receive their award at the Wednesday luncheon of the 2023 Literacy Texas Annual Conference in College Station, with hotel stay and travel reimbursement from Literacy Texas. Winners will be informed no later than mid-July to enable them to make travel arrangements.
We love getting the chance to celebrate students and volunteers – you can visit the 2022 Hall of Fame here.
