THE LEIF ERIKSON AWARDS

In honor of the Norwegian Viking Leif Erikson who 1000 years ago was the first European to set foot in North America we are annually on October 9th recognizing the unique modern Vikings within our local communities who possess the same Viking spirit and outlined in P.O.W.E.R

THE ANNUAL AWARD CEREMONY

WE HONOR THE PILLARS OF THE COMMUNITY NATIONWIDE

We look for socially conscious individuals contributing within their communities, who also have the following four core Viking traits embedded  in their accomplishments together with leadership traits outlined in P.O.W.E.R  (Purpose, Opportunity, Wisdom, and  Resilience). 


  • Vision
  • Imagination
  • Collaboration
  • Fearlessness 


The Leif Erikson Day is October 9th, and this year's event is held Thanksgiving weekend in D.C. The modern-day Vikings being honored showcase the same core Viking traits that allowed Leif Erikson to sail across the ocean and discover America. 


LEIF ERIKSON AND THE TIMELESS VIKING SPIRIT

“The name of Leif Erikson symbolizes the triumph of the human spirit.

Jimmy Carter, Former President of the United States

Former Winner of the national Leif Erikson Award
