The Grand Lodge, upon request of a Masonic Lodge under its jurisdiction, shall
furnish a certificate honoring the Master Mason designated by the Lodge as a
recipient of the Hiram Award. The certificate shall be delivered to the Masonic
Lodge for presentation to the recipient. The Grand Lodge shall make available
for purchase a medallion and lapel pin for recipients of the Hiram Award.
The Lodge may only designate for the Hiram Award a Master Mason who has served
the Lodge and the Masonic Fraternity with devotion over and above the ordinary.
Service as an officer or as Master of a Lodge shall not be in itself sufficient
qualification for the award nor shall it be a disqualification. The award
should be based on what the recipient has done, not what positions he has held.
The Hiram Award shall be considered the highest honor for service that can be
bestowed upon a member by a Masonic Lodge. The presentation should be made with
appropriate ceremony. When a selection has been made, it should be announced so
the recipient may invite family and friends to the award presentation. To
maintain the prestige and importance of the Hiram Award, a Lodge may present
only one Hiram Award in any one calendar year. Such limitation should not
suggest that this award should be presented every year.
