If you entered the Best of NAMA competition, you’re probably getting curious as to whether you won something or not. Regional and chapter banquets have been set for January, just visit the NAMA Calendar for a listing.

There are two regions that, while they are not having a banquet will still be sending out plaques to the winners. If you entered through Region 6 (Chesapeake, Eastern & Ohio Chapters) or Regon 1 (NAMA Pacific, NAMA Cal, Desert Southwest & Central California NAMA Chapters) you can expect to receive your plaques and winners lists in late January. All winners of regional awards will be notified February 1 via e-mail regarding advancement to the national judging in February.
