THE PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD
Peoples Choice Awards shall be held annually in
conjunction with the annual meeting. The mission of the
Peoples Choice Awards shall be to conduct an event that will
be enjoyable for both attendees and the folks displaying by
selecting a different theme annually that will focus on
Parker guns in terms of grade, condition, rarity,
configuration, or other aspects. Members will then be
invited to display their Parkers with attendees voting for
their Peoples Choice. By doing so we hope to bring out to
the Members Parkers with unusual and or desirable features
for viewing and discussion thereby furthering the interest
and education of the Parker gun, creating camaraderie
amongst Members, and recognizing our Members for their
collecting achievements.
PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD GUIDES
Prior to the meeting a display theme will be selected by
the reigning Chairperson with approval from the BOD.
Announcements will go out on the PGCA forum and also be
included in Parker Pages the purpose of which will be to
invite members to display a gun or guns of their choice that
reflect the chosen theme. The PGCA shall provide display
tables upon which members may display their guns and include
any staging as space may allow as determined by the
Chairperson. Members will be requested to refrain from
displaying material that may disclose who the actual owner
is. A number will be assigned to each gun displayed and all
attendees of the annual meeting will be permitted to vote on
the gun of their choice. The top 3 recipients will then be
recognized and awards given. In the event of a tie attendees
will be asked to vote again. In the event of a third tie the
Chairperson in conjunction with the BOD as present shall
evaluate the selected guns and assign the winning order. In
the past awards given have consisted of wood turned bowls as
created by Life Member Mike McKinney. Mike has always
created a fantastic award that has been highly regarded.
These shall continue to be used until such time as change is
required. Furthermore an “Honor Roll” shall be established
to acknowledge Peoples Choice Award winners and posted on
the PGCA forum.
