Nomination Guidelines for the Harmon Trophy
About the Trophy
In 1926, Colonel Clifford B. Harmon, an early balloonist and aviator, established international trophies to be awarded annually to the world’s outstanding aviator, aviatrix, aeronaut (balloon or dirigible) and astronaut (added in 1969).

Harmon Aeronaut Trophy
Today, NAA continues to uphold the tradition by giving out the aeronaut (ballooning) trophy, awarded for the most outstanding international achievement in the art and/or science of aeronautics (ballooning) for the previous year.
