Hall of Fame

What is the Hall of Fame?


The hall of fame was established to honor the callmakers who have seen success in this competition and give back to them something to say thank you for their support of both the competition and the NWTF. This initial class of 2023 was passed through many existing callmakers who wish to remain anonymous and are not the product of just one persons nominations. This year, weight was given in multiple criteria including number of wins, membership level, support for the organization, support for this competition, sportsmanship, and respect among peers. That is not to say that more did not qualify. In future years the vote will come from the Hall of Fame inductees listed below as well as the new inductees that are added each year. NWTF staff and callmaking staff do not decide, your peers do.
