General

Going after Awards is one of the many pursuits of Amateurs. Awards are the result of pursuing some radio activity, usually involving making a number of contacts of a particular type. The award may be in the form of a certificate, plaque or trophy.

There are many Awards operated within New Zealand and around the world. For current details see the Current Call Book, or current issues of Amateur Radio Magazines, such as Break-In.

Many awards require membership of NZART or a sister national society. Most awards have a small cost toward the presentation that you get at the end of it.

Awards are a fun way of contacting new and different people in a more relaxed and informal manner than a contest.
