The MARAC Awards Committee is responsible for the helping create new awards and refining existing awards, as well as other responsibilities defined in the MARAC Bylaws. In addition to processing applications for MARAC awards, the Awards Manager chairs the Awards Committee and
forwards the recommendations of the Committee to the MARAC Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors must approve all new awards, modifications to existing awards, and changes to the General Rules and Definitions for MARAC Awards.

The MARAC Awards program attempts to further the goals of effective mobile amateur radio
operation. If you have a suggestion for a new award, improvement for an existing award, or change in the General Rules and Definitions for MARAC Awards, please contact the Awards Manager, your District Director, any MARAC officer, or a member of the Awards Committee.
To suggest a new award or a modification to an existing award or MARAC award rule,
please submit your ideas in writing. Your written suggestion should address the
following:
1. A brief description of your idea for an award or modification. Include a draft of the new
award rules or suggested modifications.
2. Why should MARAC adopt an award based on your idea or adopt the modification you
suggest? Some possible questions that your proposal for a new award might answer are:
(a) How will your proposed award or modification promote effective and efficient Mobile Operation?
(b) How difficult is the award to achieve? Is it reasonably attainable by more than a few county hunters? Should the award be earned in levels?
(c) Are any county hunters already making the kinds of contacts that would be
required to earn this award?
3. What do you suggest as a formal name or title for the award?
ALSO:
If you have any ideas for a certificate for the proposed award, you may provide a sketch or other
artwork.
A copy of your Proposed Award should be sent to your District Director.
All suggestions for new awards and changes to current awards or rules are subject to review and possible
modification by the Awards Committee, and all awards require final approval by the MARAC Board of Directors.
