Nominate a Fellow

Do you know someone who has made a significant contribution to the state of Wisconsin? Do you have a friend or colleague who is highly esteemed for his or her judgment, perceptiveness, and breadth of knowledge? Do they possess a keen understanding of how literature, art, and science contribute to the cultural life and welfare of our state? Is there an educator, mentor, civic or business leader in your community who has had a career marked by an unusually high order of discovery and technological accomplishment; creative achievement in the arts (e.g. literature, visual art, music); historical analysis; legal or judicial interpretation; philosophical thinking; or public service?

You might know a future Wisconsin Academy Fellow.

Wisconsin Academy Fellow nominations are accepted through the Wisconsin Academy's website. Nominees are reviewed biennially (see schedule below) by a panel of existing Fellows and Academy Board members before approval by the full Wisconsin Academy Board.  Each nomination will be eligible for consideration in two consecutive selection processes. (i.e. New nominations submitted on or before September 30, 2019, will be eligible for consideration in Spring of 2020 and 2022.) Nominators may update/revise materials before the next selection process, but it is not required for reconsideration of a candidate. If not selected after two consecutive cycles, candidates will need to be re-nominated for full consideration.

Nominations for our Spring 2020 cycle will open soon. 

*These dates are subject to change at the Academy’s discretion
