Flame Trophy Awards are given to two people each year who have contributed in an outstanding way in dance ministry and to ICDF. They are also given to ICDF Coordinators after their term in office in recognition of their service to ICDF.

The name ‘Flame Awards’…

describes the shape of the trophy, emphasises the Pentecost timing of when the Awards are given, and acknowledges the partnership and inspiration of the Holy Spirit in our creative endeavours.

Fan into flame the gift of God… for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline. — 2 Timothy 1:6-7
