Final Call Issued for 2026 US Security Awards

Entry deadline approaches for the prestigious industry accolades partnered with ASIS International.

Security professionals across the United States have until June 9 to submit nominations for the 2026 U.S. Outstanding Security Performance Awards.

The annual program, now in its 11th consecutive year partnering with ASIS International, honors exceptional performance across the security sector. Nominations are open to any individual, team or company providing security products or services in the country.

Organizers said participation is free, and the application process requires answering two questions per category. This year’s program features 15 categories, including outstanding in-house security manager, contract security company, security partnership and new security product.

An independent panel of judges chosen by leading U.S. security associations will review the submissions. All judges must adhere to an ethics policy and score entries independently to ensure a fair evaluation.

Winners will be announced Sept. 13 at the Global Security Exchange conference in Atlanta. Information on the submission criteria and category requirements is available on the official event website.
