The following updates have been made to NCGS Award Criteria:
- In all of the categories of “The Award for Excellence in Periodical Publishing” and “The Award for Excellence in Web Presence”, a person/organization will be eligible again for consideration three years after they have won the same award. This can be reconsidered if there is a change in the editor or there has been a significant change to the material/publication.
- In the category of “The Award for Outstanding Contribution to NCGS by a Member”, a person will be eligible again for consideration three years after they have won the same award.
- In the category of “The Award for Outstanding Contribution to North Carolina Genealogy,’ a person is only eligible to win once as this is an award for longtime contributions.
Example for three-year wait period: An Award Winner in 2019 would be eligible for reconsideration to win the same award in 2022.
