Am I right in thinking that pigeons in any of these award competitions have to be entered for consideration by their owners.

Yes, that's the same for all Awards that I can think of

RPRA Awards, De Duif, Titan Games etc

None of them are granted automatically.

In the first instance the onus lies on the fancier to put his bird forward for consideration

Thanks Mike. I thought that was the case.

Yea, the onus always falls on the fancier in the first instance to put their birds forward for any/all awards

I think maybe an individual organisation (say like the MNFC/NFC) have the capacity to run stats to produce their individual "ace pigeons" within their own organisation - but awards on a bigger scale have to be applied for

Hi Leon

So, out of interest Excelsior Pigeon last night announced the results of their "Pinnacle Awards" competition. The purpose of this is to find the best pigeons in Great Britain across different disciplines (Youngsters, OB Sprint, OB Middle Distance etc)
It's quite ground-breaking really because this is the very first time ever that all fanciers in Great Britain are eligible to compete in one racing competition all together (All England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland, Republic of Ireland etc)

The winner of the Youngsters competition for Great Britain in 2024 is Gordon Bros and Sons with their "Supersonic Blizzard" (They were also 4th, 5th and 9th - a great achievement)

His father is a G.Son of "Blizzard King Kittel"

His mother is a G.Daughter of "Kittel"

This sounds very interesting. I will have a look at in a bit

Plent of testing will have to be done. It seem that i also sparked huge interest in some people from our combine about the bird so i will offer them some co-breading for 2-3 people with their best hen for 1 youngster for myself and them each. So his genes will also be entering some of the best lofts in our combine within this year and hopefully breed very well there in the upcomming 2-3 years for them.
