THE ISA AWARD

2010: None
2011: In a playful nod to the origin of the art form we honored, each Indie Soap Award winner received a one-of-a-kind, 500g block of Savon de Marseille Bonne Mere from L'Occitane.
2012-13: So many series, so many stories; so many stars. What is it our winners have in common? They take ingredients available to everyone--anecdotes, friends, the Internet--and create original and lasting works of art.

Armando Ramirez fashioned each Indie Soap Award specifically for We Love Soaps, LLC by hand, from discarded car parts. Under his care, a spark plug, a potentiometer, and some nuts and bolts become beguiling, unique statuettes. Like our winning indie soaps, the Award itself is a testament to craftsmanship and whimsy, inspiration and perspiration, beauty and wit.

2014-present: A large octagon crystal award. The elegant design included the ISA logo, "Indie Series Awards", the winner's name, winning series and year.
