[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At the Alexandria Bay Vintage Boat Show, the Annual Renaissance Award will be given to the boat which best symbolizes the renaissance of the antique or classic boat to our River heritage!

THOUSAND ISLANDS RENAISSANCE AWARD<\/p>\n

By Daniel H. Gregory, M.D.<\/p>\n

The antique boat has significantly contributed to the cultural-economic growth and development of the Thousand Islands-St. Lawrence River region.\u00a0 Today, many of these boats are being rediscovered and appropriately recognized by regional boat shows and local museums.\u00a0 Such recognition, however, usually focuses only on beauty and structure while ignoring the full functioning historic value of these boats.\u00a0 It seems that their real significance is to be found in the daily lives of river families that have owned and operated them over the years;( i.e. fishing, hunting, transport, healthcare, entertainment, touring , weddings, shopping, business, mail delivery, racing, etc.).\u00a0 Clearly, this is a unique river cultural legacy that must be preserved for the generations yet to come.<\/p>\n

To assure the preservation of these river boat values the Thousand Islands chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society presents The Renaissance Award at its annual boat show as a special award to recognize a specific boat for its river heritage. \u00a0It is hoped that this special cup award will stimulate a spirit of creativity and regenerate future sparks of enthusiasm that will elevate the value of these boats above and beyond the gathering of show points.<\/p>\n

CRITERIA FOR RENAISSANCE AWARD COMPETITION:<\/p>\n

Only individual boat owners will be eligible for award competition and will be generally recognized by the award committee as individuals who have significantly contributed to boating in the Thousand Islands region over an extended time period. \u00a0The competing boat must be registered in the show and classified as an Historic, Antique, or Classic Boat.\u00a0The link between boat and river activity must be documented and may take many forms including: photo album, video tape, movies, scrapbook, press clippings, poster display, etc. at the time of judging. The creativity of this presentation, historic value of the boat, uniqueness of its function and condition will constitute the judging criteria as detailed below:<\/p>\n

Awarding of Points<\/u><\/p>\n

1 Condition of boat at presentation\u00a0– 10 points<\/p>\n

2 Historical value of boat to river growth and development\u00a0– 10 points<\/p>\n

3 Unique contribution and function of the boat which must continue to remain active on the river\u00a0– 15 points<\/p>\n

4 Quality and creativity of presentation when certifying boat’s historic value and unique contribution at show time\u00a0– 15 points[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
