Winner of the Carl E. Akeley Award
Winners are chosen upon three primary criteria: 1. Taxidermy skill 2. Artistic impact 3. Creativity
Being that this is one of the top taxidermy awards, it is quite natural that the first requirement is that the taxidermy work involved in the piece be of extremely high standards. The rendering itself should demonstrate taxidermy as a beautiful and valid form of wildlife art and portray the subject with taste and dignity while maintaining the anatomical accuracy and skillful techniques required in world-class taxidermy. -Taxidermy.net
