Annual award dedicated to recognizing individuals in Exhibition Poultry.
Celebrating Champions, Past and Present
The Hall of Champions seeks to highlight and celebrate the dedication of all individuals, regardless of role, so that their hard work and positive contributions do not go unnoticed. Each year, honorees will be selected through a peer nomination system.
Honorees are celebrated in two distinct award categories. Living Honorees are individuals who are still with us today and continue to make an impact. Memorial Honorees are those who have passed on, yet their legacy endures and continues to inspire future generations.
