Two inch gold medals will be awarded to first place winners in all subcategories. Each overall winner will receive a special three inch gold medal and a wooden plaque. The overall award in General Astronomy will be determined by the highest quiz score. Thus, Regional Masters cannot displace non-Master competitors from any subcategory or overall award.
