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."
Next to the column are 2 photos of Jay Justice in costume-top image is Jay wearing a red Star Trek The Original Series dress, holding a phaser, standing in front of tall gilded doors. Bottom image is Jay dressed as Geordi LaForge in a TNG uniform, holding a phaser, next to LeVar Burton, who has his arm around her shoulder. They are both smiling.
