You have until May 31 to submit your work for consideration in the 2025 Arcana Veritas Distinction Awards. The Grand Lodge of Scotland’s exaltation of scholarship will culminate at the November 26 award ceremony at Freemasons’ Hall in Edinburgh.
The Grand Lodge willed AVDA into existence at its Annual Communication in November 2023, so don’t feel inadequate if you hadn’t heard of this previously. The first honorees, from last November, are obscure scribes David Harrison (History Book), Antony Richard Baker (Philosophy and Symbolism Book), and Stewart Clelland (White Papers).

No, I’m not going to try for this! I’m a few deep levels south of this caliber. Brethren who didn’t win last year include Ric Berman (his Prestonian Lecture!), Christopher Earnshaw, and Julian Rees. Don’t let that deter you though. Contest judges are yet to be named, but I’m confident they’ll be noble and petrifying.
