The Allie Awards are the signature fundraiser of the Allie Foundation of Georgia, celebrating creativity, innovation, and excellence in the live events industry.
Founded in 1991 by industry pioneers Tim Lundy, Judy Cook, and other visionary leaders, the Allie Awards began with a simple yet bold idea: to honor the collaborative spirit and exceptional talent within Atlanta’s event industry. What started as a modest ceremony with few categories has grown into a prestigious event featuring over 30 categories, reflecting the dynamic evolution and depth of the industry.
Beyond recognizing excellence, the Allie Awards have contributed to charitable causes within the Atlanta community, setting a precedent for similar awards across North America and inspiring the creation of the International ILEA Esprit Awards.
