Diploma das Ilhas Açoreanas (DDIA) "Azores Islands Award"

go back
 

This award was created around 1986 by ARA, until nowadays the rules of this award have been many times misinterpreted and we recognize that it can be our fault, because, as far as we know this award was never translated.

Today, ARA’s direction board, has determined that it was time to revise this award, and readjust it to our days. Now this award, besides having a official english version, has also been made more explicit, hoping that from now on requesters have a better understanding of its requisites, also the cost of it has been updated.

The document was turned official and in now  published here on our website, we ask you to inform your local clubs and friends of these changes.

Previous issued awards will be valid, of course, but from now on(January 2004) the official rules are the new version, dated from 2004.

We hope you can understand this situation and we wish you good hunting.
