NZART Amateur of the Year Award Rules

Presented at NZART Annual Conference

Award to be made to the radio amateur who in the preceding 12 month calendar year (January to December) has given outstanding service to Amateur Radio.

Criteria

• Nominees must be active in more than one aspect of amateur radio and in these to have shown extraordinary service to their fellow amateurs,
• The nominee must be a current member of NZART, and
• The nominee should be unaware of the nominations.

Nominations

• Nominations to be made to the President of NZART (at current address) to reach the President by May 1st following the year under review,
• Nominations must be made through the Secretary of a Branch of NZART, and
• Points of "service rendered" must be tabulated and certified as correct by the Branch Chairman (except that two other officers would be accepted if the circumstances warrant) and these must refer only to the 12 month period under review. Through these, the reason why the nominee should be considered must be clearly evident.

The President will decide on the Award allocation reporting the result to Council immediately prior to the Annual General Meeting. It is possible that in some years no award would be made even though recommendations were received.
