Franson Award

Franson Award

The Franson Award originally called the N3F President’s Award. It was renamed in honor of Donald Franson. This award started because past N3F Presidents have wanted to give a show of appreciation to people – even those who may have won the Kaymar Award (which you can only win once).

Here is the list of all Franson Award winners since 1991.
