caption_attribution_description: English: 2014 American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame Award for Earl Scruggs, on display at the American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City.
context_page_description: The American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame, formerly known as the National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame, recognizes musicians. bands, or companies that have made a distinct contribution to banjo performance, education, manufacturing, and towards promotion of the banjo. The hall of fame is a part of the American Banjo Museum located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
  When the National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame Museum became the American Banjo Museum in 2009, its focus began to shift to be more inclusive of all banjos. Originally focusing on four-string banjo players, the hall of fame expanded in 2013 to recognize contributions from 5-string banjo players as well, allowing them to be recognized in "non-performance categories" and creating a category specific to 5-string banjo players. The first 5-string banjoists were added to the hall of fame beginning in 2014.
  Inductees into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame in 2018 include Bela Fleck, Borgy Borgerson, Jim Henson, Hub Nitsche and the Banjo Newsletter, and Eddie Collins. The 2019 inductees include Alison Brown, Johnny Baier, Jimmy Mazzy, John Hartford, Bob Snow, and Janet Davis.
