An example of a plaque that is awarded to the Excalibur Freestyle Winner Annually.
Excalibur Freestyle Award: A plaque or trophy is awarded to the winner based on an average of the three highest " scores earned at either USDF or USEF Musical Freestyle levels. This trophy was created by the Portland Area Chapter of ODS in recognition of "Excalibur" and Mary Ann Judkins for their outstanding freestyle presentations. Excalibur was owned, trained, and shown by Mary Ann Judkins. In the early 2000's the perpetual trophy was auctioned off and the proceeds dedicated to the ODS Education Fund.
In 2011, in addition to a plaque, Luna Tunes Freestyles has donated a $100 gift certificate for the Excalibur Freestyle Award winner!
