Award winners from the immediate previous year are not eligible for an award the following year. Example: the winner from 2024 is ineligible in 2025. That person is again eligible in 2026.
Four $500 awards will be selected by drawing from all eligible applications. The drawing will be held at the annual Christmas Party. Payment will be made to the member who sponsored the winning applicant. Payment will be made in December.
