This award is presented annually to a person who has diligently tried to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, and the rights and liberties it stands for. Whether that person was successful or not is immaterial. The fact he or she has made a continuing effort is what qualifies that person for nomination for the award. The award consists of a certificate with embossed seal in a leatherette frame. The award will be given once per person, per lifetime.
Nominations are open to all, regardless of age, gender or affiliation.
Nominations will be accepted from a third party only. Multiple nominations of the same individual count as a single nomination. Nominations open March first of the current year, close January thirty-first the following year. Nominations are valid for one year only. Individuals must be re-nominated each year.
