2 1991 SILVA AWARD

- A TRIPLE PLAY —

This year's Silva Award went not to one, not two, but THREE deserving winners - nude Stott, Jim Lee and Stig Skarborn.

The nominations were ranked independently by three COF Directors and their rankings given to the COF President. The result - a 3-way tie. Rather than try to determine one winner, Mr. Forsyth decided that all three were worthy recipients and should share the honour. The winners' names will be engraved on an individual medallion to be kept by each winner. The Silva trophy will be retained by each winner for a four month period.

The documentation supporting each nomination included:
