ISGG Awards
During the ICGG2026 Conference, several awards will be presented in recognition of excellence
in the fields of Geometry and Graphics.
More information about the ISGG awards is available on the official ISGG website.
The Steve M. Slaby Award
The Steve M. Slaby Award is dedicated to an individual for his/her accomplishment, outstanding life achievement and superlative leadership and influential stature in the Geometry and Graphics Education community, especially at the international level. This award is to be a timely acknowledgement and reward for the contribution of the awardees while still alive and preferably active.
The Loyal Friends of ICGGs Award
The Loyal Friends of ICGGs Award, established at the ICGG2022, is granted to individuals recognized as distinguished participants in the Conference series of ISGG. First awardees were Frank Maxfield Croft (USA) and Paul Zsombor-Murray (Canada), as participants since the first Conference (Vancouver, 1978). The award is granted every two years at the ICGG. The committee is formed by the Board of Regents of ISGG, and conducted by the President in Office of ISGG. The call for nomination is sent by the ISGG President at least two months before the Conference, and it remains open for three weeks. The evaluation process ends no later than one month before the Conference.
ISGG Young Researcher Award
Created by the International Society for Geometry and Graphics (ISGG), the ISGG Young Researcher Award recognizes and motivates young participants of the International Conference on Geometry and Graphics (ICGG) for their brilliant works. This award acknowledges either:
- A notable research work in Geometry and Graphics accepted in ICGG 2026, or published in a recognized peer-reviewed journal or conference proceedings, or
- A significant contribution of lasting value to Graphics Education at all levels.
The award is granted biennially and presented at a formal ceremony during the ICGG. Laureates receive a certificate and are invited to deliver an online lecture following the conference. The recorded lectures will be published on ISGG’s channels.
