Awards FAQ

In most cases anyone may make a nomination for someone who they think is deserving of a certain award. NAA presents several awards with specific criteria to recognize many different people in the aviation community.

NAA usually contacts all recipients after the selection committee meets and they are invited to receive the award at a designated NAA event. NAA also posts a press release soon after the recipient of an award is known.

Deadlines vary with each award. Please visit the Awards & Trophies page for a short description of each award as well as the nomination deadline.

Instructions for sending awards nominations appear under Nomination Guidelines in each award section on this website.

The process is slightly different for each award, but most of them are selected by a committee. NAA selects people from the aviation industry and community to sit on selection committees for each award. These committees review all nominations that are received by NAA and select a recipient.
