The Distinguished Service Award recognizes those individuals who make outstanding contributions to the rabbit and/or cavy industry at a local, state, or regional level. The nominee need not be a judge or registrar, but an individual who has made a noticeable impact on the industry by the work they have performed.

Induction into the ARBA Hall of Fame is the highest award which the ARBA can bestow. This award will be given to members whose contributions to the rabbit or cavy industry excel beyond our other awards. Applicants should be worthy of this recognition by having major accomplishments at the national level. The nominee should have already been recognized by receiving all awards available at the local, state, or regional level.
