Every year the Society presents several awards in recognition of significant contributions to the publication, documentation and preservation of the worldwide history of the motor vehicle. We have awards for print media (books, articles and periodicals), non-print media (film, video, audio, websites, etc.), papers authored by undergraduate and graduate-level students, preservation of historic materials in libraries and archives, and for service to the cause of automotive history.

Nominations are received in the spring of each year for books, articles and periodicals published in the previous calendar year. The awards are announced in September and are presented at the Society’s Annual Awards Banquet in October.
