In the American Kennel Club’s ongoing efforts to recognize and celebrate its volunteer club members, The AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award program was established in 2006 to provide each member club with an AKC Medallion to award to one of its own on a yearly basis.
This award honors those individuals who deserve special recognition who have made a difference in the sport of purebred dogs, embodied the AKC Code of Sportsmanship, and have been an active and valued member of an AKC member club. Medallions are awarded solely at the club’s discretion.
This is the first year this will be awarded. In the future we will have a list of all winners of this award by year.
Full instructions are on the nomination form. The winner will be determined by a vote of the membership. The deadline to submit a nomination is August 3, 2022.
