2023 Richard and Grace Brigham Award

The Richard and Grace Brigham Award is presented to the commercial, institutional or club automotive history periodical that represents the most exemplary editorial, graphic or historical content published in calendar year 2022. Periodicals with an online-only presence can also be nominated. Award evaluations are based on issues for the entire calendar year, rather than a single issue. The Brigham Award Panel may select more than one periodical for recognition. (Nominations for a single article should be directed to the Carl Benz Award Panel, rather than the Brigham Award Panel.)

Nominations should be emailed to sahawards@gmail.com by April 15, 2023. Upon notice that the nomination is accepted, materials should be forwarded to the Award Panel Chair Andrew Beckman.

Questions regarding the Brigham Award should be directed to Andrew Beckman.
