The Mason of the Year award is given to a Master Mason that has distinguished himself in Masonry during a given year. He does not have to be a Past Master or a Grand Lodge Officer. A Master Mason can be nominated by another Master Mason of a lodge.
Brother Masons in the advancing line are eligible for this award. This award will not be awarded posthumously and does not have to be awarded each year.
Strong emphasis will be placed on service to “Blue Lodge” within the State of Alaska.
Anyone may submit a recommendation for this award.
