GUIDELINES
To be eligible for an award you must be an Association member and have the aircraft on the ground by 5:00pm on the day of presentations. 

We also have a precedent that if you win a major prize you may not be eligible to win it again for the following 3 years. 

Our hope is that these guidelines will make the whole process as fair and transparent as possible.
