W. A. Price Bulletin Award for the Best Club Newsletter: This award is judged and presented by the previous year’s winner.

Humanitarian Awards: Given at the District Governor’s discretion to one or more individuals who have demonstrated a personal commitment through voluntary efforts to pursue greater service to humanity. Not necessarily awarded every year.

District Service Citation: This optional award, given only rarely, is presented to an individual for exceptional and selfless service to the District. The recipient is selected by unanimous decision of the District Award Committee.

The Category I award goes to a club with 51 or more members: the Category II award goes to a club with 50 or fewer members.

Four-Way Test Award: This award is given at the District Governor’s discretion to an individual Rotarian who best exemplifies the application of the Rotary Four-Way Test in his or her life.
