The Biennial Awards are presented for animals taken during the applicable Biennial period which runs from July 1 of one year to June 30 two years later.  Quite often animals taken during a particular period are not recorded until well after the Biennial has ended.  Years ago the committee decided that the actual Biennial Awards would be given according to the applications received and approved up to the time that the Biennial Awards were ordered from the trophy manufacturer.  This has not been of any concern in the past.  Now however with this website we find that we have listed the Biennial Awards according to our current records but that as new applications are received the order of the Biennial Awards may change.  We intend to continue to show the current status of the Biennial Awards but those people that make the list at some point in time need to keep in mind that a bigger animal may come along and bump theirs off the list.  In one sense this can be viewed as a challenge to see how long a particular animal can stay on the list and / or maintain its position on the list.  If an animal you have entered makes it onto the list only to be bumped off at a later date feel fortunate that at least for a period of time it did make it onto the list.

Below are the 17th Biennial Awards, with the current leaders in each category for the 17th Biennial Awards period, 7/01/07 - 6/30/09. Prior Biennial Award winners may be viewed under the heading "All Time Awards" on the "Awards" page.
