3) EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: You are required to supply full and complete verification of any claims made regarding your nominees qualifications.  The more documentation that you supply, the easier it will be for our judges to reach a decision.  Nominations without this documentation will be returned without being given consideration.

Restrictions:

1)  Decision of the judges is final.

2) The Amateur Radio Newsline (Newsline) sponsors the award program and guarantees that the winner will receive a plaque noting that honor.  All other gratuities are provided at the option of any corporate underwriter.  None are guaranteed. An underwriter may, at its choice/option, provide the winner with a trip to an Amateur Radio convention or hamfest of our selection.

3) If awarded, this trip will be limited to transportation for the winner to the venue, hotel accommodations, convention and banquet tickets and a prize.  Not covered are any miscellaneous costs such as local transportation, incidental meals, locally made purchases, telephone calls or the costs incurred by a relative or guardian traveling with or accompanying the award winner to the convention city. (A parent, relative or guardian is free to share accommodations with the winner based on their personal arrangements.)

4)  In the event that a winner is unable to travel to the convention, the Newsline will attempt to arrange a special award ceremony where the recipient resides; I.E.: in his/her school, before his/her radio club, etc. In this case the trip to the convention will be forfeited by the recipient, but all other aspects of the award will remain.
