500 points for 1st place, 400 2nd, 300 3rd, 200 4th. This is a total
of 1400 points for the Lipochrome Canary Division, 1400 points for the
Melanin Canary, and 1400 points for the New Color Melanin Canary. If your local
club has all 3 divisions, there are a total of 4200 points per
exhibition. Any exhibitor receiving 1000 points receives the NCA "Master Breeder" Award
Certificate.

Colorbred canaries that receive 800
plus points are recognized. As a result, the bird now qualifies for
an NCA "Champion" Award Certificate.
