If to a person, he or she must have been a member while the performance was given, when the film/video was released, or script/book/article, etc., was published.  If to a production (e.g., play, film, book), the work must be composed/written/acted in by a member(s) of the ALP.  Receipt of the Excellence Award would bar the recipient from eligibility for three subsequent years.

Frequency:

Preferred frequency would be one single award per year, but the committee would have the authorization to NOT issue an award if no one/no work was found to merit an award during that year.

Method of Choosing:

The president appoints a committee of three or five members.  A given committee serves for one year.  Service on the committee in a prior year would be no bar to an award committee appointment.  Anyone (ALP member or non-ALP member) could nominate a member for consideration to any awards committee member.
