Later this year, the Teach Me About the Great Lakes podcast will host the First Annual Lakie Awards. The goal of The Lakies (tentative motto: “Possibly not the least prestigious Great Lakes-related award ceremony") is not to be Official Arbiters of Quality, but to be a fun, informal celebration of amazing/inspiring Great Lakes-related research, outreach, and communication in the inimitable Teach Me About the Great Lakes style.
Nomination categories include:
- Great Lakes Science Communication of the Year
- Great Lakes Outreach Program of the Year
- Great Lakes News Event of the Year
- Great Lakes Research of the Year
- Coolest Thing You Learned Listening to Teach Me About the Great Lakes in 2021
- Science Podcast of the Year (non-Teach Me About the Great Lakes edition)
- Great Lakes Animal of the Year
- Great Lakes non-Animal of the Year
- Great Lakes Sandwich of the Year
- Great Lakes Donut of the Year
The nomination process is easy (just enter the name/title and provide a link) and self-nominations are encouraged. They'd love to get a broad swath of great work across the serious and less-serious categories to celebrate.
