Novice of the Year Awards Program

Any novice exhibitor may qualify for the Novice Exhibitor of the Year Award in each year they exhibit in any NCS affiliated shows.  Each bird placed on the Top Novice Bench will earn the EXHIBITOR (not the bird) points according to the placing of the bird(s).  The First Best in Novice winner in each show will earn its owner 10 points.  Second placement earns the exhibitor 9 points, 3^rd placement is 8 points, with the rest of the placements declining one point each down to 10^th placement earning one point.

Any birds banded by any advanced exhibitor and shown in novice will be disqualified to participate in the Novice Exhibitor of the Year Award.  At the end of the calendar year, the Points Registrar will compile the listing in order of total points accumulated by placing birds on the Top Novice Bench.  The Points Registrar will send a notification to each participant earning points that year.    The names will also be listed in the NCS Journal and online on the NCS web page.
