John Moyers
Of all the awards bestowed upon the CAA artists at the annual Cowboy Artists of America Show, this particular award is especially meaningful. Voted on by the Active CAA members, the artist who is awarded this honor has received a nod of approval from his peers for the best over-all exhibition. The CAA is extremely pleased to have Stetson sponsor this award, as Stetson exemplifies the spirit of the west that the CAA members strive to capture in their art.

The Ray Swanson Memorial Award was added at the request of the Swanson Family with full CAA member support, to honor longtime CAA member, Ray Swanson, who passed away in 2004. The award is an artifact from Ray's personal collection. The award is given for a work of art that best communicates a moment in time and captures the emotion of that moment.
