Message from the 2026 LAA Recipient

[Nora Mai]

Today I received an email from Steward Hartman who says that while perusing the internet on Friday, May 15, he discovered 

that he was selected for the 2026 ICG Lifetime Achievement Award.

He asked me to forward his thanks to the Board, I have included that below.

Nora Mai, ICG-VP

From Steward Hartman:

To the ICG Board and Chapter Presidents –

 
In gratitude of being named the 2026 recipient of the ICG Lifetime Achievement Award, 

I want to thank all of you for recognizing my contributions at the CostumeCons 

I have attended and the donations of photos I have made to the ICG photo archives. 

This was a totally appreciated and very unexpected surprise. 

When we next have in person CostumeCons, I hope to attend and see and talk with 

everyone involved in costuming once again. 

Sincerely, Steward Hartman
