This jurying for this portion of the divisions is done collectively by NCS members, in conjunction with all of the various NCS chapters.  All chapters had been urged to participate. The remaining specialty division nominees will be here posted soon.  (Note: more than 3 nominees indicates a tie in that division.  If you see multiple names in one division, it’s because more than one separate feature was submitted and both nominated.)

From here, the general NCS membership is invited to cast their votes for the final winners, and the results will be announced along with the remaining divisions during the online NCSFest Reubens later this year.

If you’re an NCS member and haven’t cast your vote in this portion of the voting, click here to get started!
