This award is open to all member clubs - and is completely separate from the PNKCA Tategoi Awards that are presented at club koi shows.  This entry should be a koi determined by the club to be their best of the best, not necessarily the same koi winning in a koi show - not necessarily even a koi that was entered in a koi show.  The only requirement is a current photograph and an application form completed by appropriate club representatives.
