Origin
The award was conceived and donated by R. J. Rouse of Texas. It was created to recognize outstanding individuals in aerobatics and in honor of aerobatic pioneer Frank Price, the first American to compete in the World Aerobatic Championships.
Criteria
Purpose of the award is to recognize the person who has contributed the most to the sport of aerobatics in a prior calendar year. The award is presented annually and will be selected by a secret ballot of the IAC Board of Directors. Nominations can be submitted by any IAC member.
Procedures
The IAC Awards Administration Chairman will solicit nominations from the chapters and members through IAC publications and direct email queries. The IAC Board of Directors will then be balloted prior to the annual EAA AirVenture.
Presentation
Recipient trophies are funded by the IAC and consist of a laser cut plaque with a photograph of the permanent trophy set in the plaque. The master trophy remains on display at the IAC pavilion in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The plaque is presented at the IAC Annual Gathering Dinner at EAA AirVenture.
