Following the summary of the over 200 nominations for the 2026 Open Education Awards of Excellence in the metaphor of each being a seed of recognition planted, our greenhouse was opened to our 2026 Review Committee for their work of reviewing the nominations. Each nomination is like a seed of recognition, and our reviewers are the experienced gardeners who help them grow.
Here, we introduce you to the 46 members of the 2026 OEAwards Review Committee where you can learn more about the people, their connection to the OEAwards and motivations to volunteer time moving us towards the first announcement in August of the semi-finalists.
