Outstanding Achievement "Ginner of the Year" Award -
For the past 25 years the Ginners Association has recognized the following individuals with the Outstanding Achievement "Ginner of the Year" award. This annual award is to honor and recognize an individual who has provided dedication, knowledge, and special service to this Association as well as the ginning industry. Each year, members of the Association have the opportunity to nominate who they think is most deserving of this award.

Distinguished Service Award -
In 1992, the Association presented its first Distinguished Service Award. This award is to recognize individuals outside of the Ginners Association that have made significant contributions to the Association and/or the cotton ginning industry. The recipient is chosen by nominations from members of the Association. This award is based on those deserving of it, thus it is not always given annually and some years there may be more than one recipient.
