# IGA Best Practice Awards: Show Us Your Creative Solutions & Win Big!
Written by [Jessica Vician](https://www.iga.com/insights/author/jessica-vician)
Jan 2, 2019
This year’s IGA Global Rally in San Diego will dedicate a full day to exploring best practices from IGA retailers. Submit today and you could be one of **10 finalists presenting your best practice at the IGA Global Rally for the chance to win Best Practice Awards in one of three categories—each with a $1,000 cash prize! **
**Here’s how it works: **
- **[Click here](https://www.iga.com/contact/iga-best-practice-submission-form?hsCtaTracking=8261edf3-5fae-4e2c-89eb-33b73c74d9bf%7C4999e1bc-f923-48e7-a825-8e3a7da4c928)** to fill out a simple form to get your best practice in the running (if you’ve already submitted a best practice in 2018, you’re all set—no need to submit again). All submissions received before December 15, 2018 will be eligible.
- A committee of IGA members and industry experts will choose 10 best practice finalists from among those submitted.
- Finalists will be announced the first week of January 2019.
- Each of the 10 finalists will receive one free registration for the IGA Global Rally, where their best practice will be presented on Day 1: Friday, February 22.
- Best practice winners will be chosen in three categories by open voting throughout the industry.
- Winners will be announced at the IGA Global Rally Award Brunch; each of the three winners will receive a $1,000 cash prize and coverage in a special-edition industry publication.
**Need Some Inspiration? **
