    CASE’s annual Circle of Excellence Awards showcase outstanding work in advancement.

    The awards recognize exceptional achievement in advancement services, alumni relations, communications, fundraising, and marketing. These are the creative, inspiring projects that impact institutions and their communities—and transform lives around the globe.

    The 2022 awards celebrated work from 636 institutions from 28 countries, selected by panels of more than 600 volunteer judges.

    Learn more about how to celebrate your team’s accomplishments, meet past winners, and find inspiration.

    Awards open Jan. 11, 2023, and close March 15, 2023. Recipients will be announced in June 2023.

    • Awards will be judged locally and globally. In 2022, CASE implemented a new awards system in which each CASE region (Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America) and North America districts considered nominations submitted by their local institutions for their “Best of” recognition. These Best of District/Region are back for 2023.
