In 1993 at the second annual Calgary Country Dance Stampede, the North West Award of Distinction was presented for the first time. It was to recognize a resident of the North West for; dedication to Country Western Dance, personifying its spirit; for giving time; for promoting; for offering a helping hand; and for giving encouragement. Since 2001 this award lay dormant until, in 2009, the Calgary Dance Stampede decided to reinstate an award to recognize contributions and those whom have made major contributions to the sport of Country Dance.
The etching on the award reads;
Calgary Dance Stampede
