It is with the deepest regret to announce we will not be awarding an Amateur of the Year award for 2013. We have received conflicting information from credible sources regarding the accuracy of the winning nomination. The General Chairman of Hamvention this year, Charles Kaiser received these reports and followed up to verify their accuracy. Unfortunately this changes the way we score for the Amateur of the Year award and since the competition was close with other nominees the outcome would have been different.
Based on all of this research the decision has been made by the Hamvention General Chairman not to award the Amateur of the Year for 2013. We feel it is imperative to preserve and protect the integrity of this prestigious award.
