Under present rules Grand Award winners are barred from showing the same material in subsequent shows and it was felt that eventually all of the best collections in the Society would be barred for that reason, so a new class was created, Past Grand Award Winners. The prizes are the regular medal of the Society set with a precious stone and the scale of prizes is as follows:
4 to 6 exhibits ? Silver Medal with Sapphire and a Bronze Medal with Ruby
Over 6 exhibits ? Gold Medal with Diamond as well as the Silver and Bronze.
