There are categories for large Sections (500 or more members), medium Sections (200 to 499 members), small Sections (under 200 members), most improved newsletter (no membership requirement), Divisions (no membership requirement), and two Grand Prizes - the Abe Schoengood Awards - for the best overall Section and Division newsletters.

A Division or Section that wins first place two years in succession is not considered for place awards for one year. This restriction does not apply to Sections that have changed one classification to another. However, if your Section or Division has won for the past two years, and it merits recognition, you are eligible for Honorable Mention.
