Professional Speaking Award of Excellence Nominations

Use this form to nominate exceptional professional speakers for the Professional Speaking Award of Excellence (PSAE).

Nominations close at midnight on Friday, 18th July.

This is the PSA’s Hall of Fame—our highest honour. As a current PSAE holder, you may nominate up to two individuals who consistently demonstrate outstanding speaking ability, uphold the highest standards of professionalism, and actively contribute to the speaking community.

Before nominating, please ensure you know the nominee well enough to speak confidently about their work—you’ve seen them speak, worked with them directly, or experienced the impact they’ve had on audiences and the profession.

All qualified candidates—those who are PSA Professional Members or Fellows with a clear ethics record—will be presented to the PSAE community for voting. A maximum of two awards will be given this year.

This is not a popularity contest—it’s about recognising those who truly elevate our profession and leave a lasting impact.

You can find a full list of current PSAE holders on the PSAE Award Winners page.
