The CPRA announced their year-end awards in a press release today, bringing some exciting news for the hard-working competitors, animal athletes, and contract personnel of the association. These awards are voted on by the top 20 competitors, novice competitors, and contract members in the association and are often regarded with the highest honor for competitors and personal because they are recognized by their peers as outstanding in their category.
