ILLINOIS AUDUBON SOCIETY 
Junior Wildlife Management Award 
By Vote oF the Board of Directors, the Illinois Audubon Society has 
established an award for junior members for a report on the practical 
application of sound wildife management policies. The report should 
describe results obtained by the candidate’s personal efforts. 
The purpose of the award is to stimulate initiative, originality, in- 
genuity and performance in the field of wildlife management and conser- 
vation by wildlife students of the younger generation. This type of award 
was chosen after the decision that too often a thesis on “Conservation” 
has resulted in good intentions, but no actual achievement. 
Any junior member of the Society or child of a member in good stand- 
ing is qualified to apply for this award. The applicant must not be 18 
or more years of age as of December 31, (the closing date) of the yearly 
contest, and should not have previously attended a state-sponsored conser- 
vation or outdoors school. 
The award shall cover the cost of one week’s attendance at a conser- 
vation school picked by the judges. The judges’ decision shall be final 
in all cases. If the directors so choose, additional awards of a lesser 
nature may be distributed for other activities of outstanding merit. 
The report will be judged on the following points, with their respective 
values:
