Through the ages, the flame has been the symbol of knowledge and learning, providing the creative spark for future growth and development. The promotional products industry has grown and prospered because of the creative spark and dedication of many, but there are some individuals whose selfless efforts and devotion to the industry are monumental. It is these individuals to whom the Promotional Products Association International gives permanent recognition through induction into the Association's Hall of Fame.

Nomination And Selection Procedure
All Association members are eligible to submit a nomination. Nominations may be made online at PPAI Awards.
Members of the Association’s Board of Directors and the Hall of Fame Advisory Group shall not be permitted to make nominations or second nominations to the Hall of Fame.
Nominations will be screened by the Association staff to eliminate ineligible individuals. All eligible nominations shall be forwarded to the PPAI Hall of Fame Advisory Group to select and send a slate of candidates to the Board of Directors.
No more than half of the candidates may be posthumous nominations. Induction into the Hall of Fame shall be by ballot vote of the Board of Directors. Only “no” votes are to be cast. Seven negative votes shall be considered a rejection of the nominee, and that person will not be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Candidates who are note selected will automatically be reconsidered for the next two years (a total of three years) by the Advisory Group. After that period of time, if the individual has not been inducted, he or she will need to be nominated again by a member before being reconsidered.
