No assertion of significance or notability, one primary source cited, and few if any secondary sources are to be found anywhere; the two here are a small local Iowa paper and a non-notable website without a Wikipedia article. Virtually the only non-primary-source mentions on Google are some boilerplate notices of its award list. Like the recently deleted North Carolina Film Critics Association and Oklahoma Film Critics Circle, this is a non-notable local group that exists primarily as an awards-mill and gets its most widespread exposure from this Wikipedia article itself. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:29, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see substantial coverage of the organization itself.  It's difficult to find who founded it and when, and the only real lead I found was someone's LinkedIn profile.  If anyone's curious, the name that came up was Steve Sullivan of the Ames Tribune, so maybe that will help someone else locate more sources.  I give up.  If it's this hard to find sources, then it's probably not notable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ORGDEPTH. I could not find in-depth coverage about this organization. The results I found were just routine reports of the awards and nominations, but nothing substantial. Erik II (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 14:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
