The American Immigration Council is thrilled to host a reception and afterparty to uplift the dedication of the AILA community on June 20th at the Gaylord Rockies. Together, we will celebrate the positive impact immigrants have on our country and young voices for inclusion and belonging. Against the backdrop of rising discrimination, polarizing rhetoric, and anti-immigrant policy, this evening is an opportunity to honor AILA and the Council's partnership and double down on our commitment to shape a more welcoming country. We can't wait to come together with our community and look towards the future we are building together. Learn more here about our event.

Each year, the American Immigration Council honors the remarkable accomplishments of immigrants and their advocates from around the country at our inspiring and thought-provoking award events.
Our distinguished honorees have come from politics, music, television, sports, education and many other professional fields. View a full list of many of the outstanding individuals and organizations we have honored over the years.
Contests
The Celebrate America Creative Writing Contest challenges fifth graders across the country to reflect on and write about the theme “Why I Am Glad America Is a Nation of Immigrants.” The contest begins at the local level, with regional contests run by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) chapters. Each chapter sends its first place winning entry to the American Immigration Council for the national contest. The national winner reads his or her winning entry at the American Immigration Council’s American Heritage Awards in June.
