THE IDIC AWARD Honoring fans who demonstrate Star Trek's idealistic values in real life. "I love Star Trek because it inspires me to create, dream and strive for a better tomorrow, no matter what," explains Jay Justice, a dedicated fan who works to embody Trek's values. "My goals are always to center marginalized people and listen to voices that usually unheard... My calling is to make sure everyone who needs accessibility can get it and the best way to do that is to listen first and act second." Pictured here in cosplays that include Captain La Forge and a TOS uniform, Jay values teamwork. "You're not alone, you don't have to fight against the injustices of the galaxy alone. You've got your crew and you should rely on them just as much as they rely on you."
