    SAH 2025 Award Nominations Deadline

    The deadline for Cugnot-English, Benz, Friend of Automotive History, Brigham, Bradley, and Ingersoll award nominations is upon us. If you’ve read a good automotive book, article, or periodical; viewed a film, documentary, or television program that presented auto history in an engaging way; visited an exemplary auto museum or library; or know of someone who has made a profound individual contribution to automotive history community, then please submit a nomination to the SAH Awards Committee at sahawards@autohistory.org

    Winners will be recognized at the annual SAH Awards Banquet in Flint, Michigan in September 2025. Submission requirements, as well as additional information on these awards, can be found here.

    April 15th is the nomination deadline for these awards:

    • NICOLAS-JOSEPH CUGNOT AWARD, ENGLISH
      The Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot Award, English is presented each year for one or more books that best advance the understanding of the history of the automobile in the English language. Consideration will be given to traditional automotive histories – books focused on cars, automakers, individuals, and events – as well as social histories of the automobile, which examine the effect of the automobile on society, culture, and everyday life.
    • CARL BENZ AWARD
      The Carl Benz Award recognizes excellence in the presentation of automotive history appearing as an article in a periodical. Articles in all commercial, club, and academic periodicals are welcome to be nominated. The article must have appeared in a publication with an on-sale date within the previous calendar year.
    • RICHARD AND GRACE BRIGHAM AWARD
      The Richard and Grace Brigham Award is presented to the commercial, institutional, or club automotive history periodical that represents the most exemplary editorial, graphic, and historical content published in the previous calendar year. Periodicals with an online-only presence are also eligible. Award evaluations are based on issues for the entire calendar year, rather than a single issue.
    • E.P. INGERSOLL AWARD
      The E. P. Ingersoll Award is given for the best presentation of automotive history in media other than print. Film, television, video documentaries, oral histories, sound recordings, podcasts, websites, blogs, social media, cell phone and tablet apps, computer software, and art are eligible for consideration.
    • JAMES J. BRADLEY DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
      The James J. Bradley Distinguished Service Award is presented by The Society of Automotive Historians to museums, archives, and libraries for exemplary efforts in preserving motor vehicle resource materials.
    • FRIEND OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY AWARD
      The lifetime Friend of Automotive History (FOAH) Award recognizes an individual who has made a profound individual contribution to the automotive history community and the historical record.

    June 15th is the nomination deadline for the Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot Award, Language other than English (LOE), and the Richard P. Scharchburg Student Paper Award
