Each year for the Smokeball Beacon Awards, we recognize legal professionals who go above and beyond the billable hours -- those who are leading through pro bono service, mentorship, philanthropy, and community impact. This award highlights those who support underserved populations, and use their expertise to improve access to justice for all.
Smokeball is honored to award you for your tireless work. We encourage our Smokeball users to nominate their peers - or themselves! - who go above and beyond to provide legal aid to those in need.
💎 Nominations are now open for the 2026 Beacon Awards! 💎
If you or someone in your network is making a difference, this is your chance to spotlight their work.
Winners will receive:
• $2,000 cash prize
• $1,000 donation to a charity of winner's choice
• Travel voucher + complimentary ticket to Smokeball’s SPARK event in Chicago
