The NPCH is a recognition granted by the Paddlesports Committee to paddling retailers, manufacturers, outfitters or brands that demonstrate a commitment to promoting safe paddling practices and supporting the paddling community.
The nomination window opens yearly, running from January 15 - July 15.
Members of the Paddlesports Committee will review and judge each nomination based on their social media and website presence. However, more evaluation categories will be considered for future application cycles.
To be considered for the NPCH, at least 15% of content from the past year must be specifically about paddling activities or products in each area of review. All content going back one year from the application date will be evaluated.
The evaluation process and awarding of the NPCH are at the sole discretion of the Paddlesports Committee and the assigned judges. Additionally, if anything comes to the attention of the paddlesports committee after a nomination is submitted that would disqualify an applicant from formally receiving the NPCH, the committee may revoke the honors, even if the application has already been evaluated.
