The criteria/description for these awards are as follows:

ANDREW WHYTE SERVICE AWARD: The Andrew Whyte Service Award is a special one in honor of a very special Jaguar man.  It is not a competitive trophy.  We do not expect or want JCNA members to set out to "win" this award and will be very disappointed if such an attitude develops.  The nominees for the Andrew Whyte award will need to exemplify Andrew's personal philosophy.  He was a man who endeavored to be of assistance to everyone whenever he could, succeeding a remarkably high percentage of the time.  This award is primarily intended to honor individuals for their service to JCNA, but could also be awarded to a club as a whole.  Nominations are due by November 30 each year and the award is presented at the AGM.

FRED HORNER SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD: This award is presented annually to one JCNA member who has competed in a concours, rally and slalom with the same Jaguar.  All event divisions and classes are eligible.  The member with the highest overall score is the recipient of this award and is to be determined by the committee reviewing the criteria.  The recipient of this award is announced at the AGM.    

JAGUAR DEALER OF THE YEAR AWARD: The Jaguar Dealer of the Year Award was created to honor a special Jaguar dealer.  It should not be treated as a competitive trophy and dealers shall not expect to "win" this award.  The award shall not solely be based on the amount of money the dealer donates to its local club, but on how active the dealer is in its local club and how the dealer has made a difference to its local club.  Nominations are due by November 30 each year and the award is presented at the AGM.
