The top award in the Mens division is $100 plus a free trip to New York City. The Teen-Ag- e Champion receives the same prizes and, in addition, all expenses on the trip are paid for one parent or guardian. In and Men Only the Teen-Ag- e classifications, the second .prize is $50. third is $25. and fourth, $10. Five honorable mentions of $2. each will be awarded in both of these divisions.
