The categories are:

Manx music

Art and crafts that portray Manx life or culture

Manx language

Outstanding contribution to Manx culture

Student under 18

Student over 18

Group of under 25s

Outstanding contribution to the Manx community

Overcoming disability to contribute to the community

In addition, there are two awards for students who have made the most improvement in the Manx Language.

Nomination forms can found online

The awards have been run each year since 1978, when the convention of the North American Manx Association assembled at Rocky River, Ohio, and resolved to spend $1000 on a project to commemorate the Millennium of Tynwald in 1979.

The winners will be presented with a specially minted silver medal at a ceremony in Douglas on 8 July.
