Founder's Award papers should be submitted to the International Headquarters and postmarked by March 1: (if sent via USPS) or 11:59 EST (if emailed). Entries that are sent by USPS should be addressed to Headquarters: Founder's Award Entry, The Questers, 210 Quince St., Philadelphia, PA 10107-5534.

Founder's Award papers are prepared following the same guidelines as Study Papers (See Study Paper guidelines). The Founder's Award Chairman is appointed by the International President and ratified by the International Executive Board. All paper entries are read and scored by an anonymous reading committee selected by the Chair. The papers with the highest scores are designated as first, second, third and any honorable mentions. Winners are announced at the International Convention luncheon. All winners receive a certificate with the author of the highest scoring paper receiving an engraved silver plate. The first place paper's title and its author are permanently entered (in calligraphy) in the Founder's Award leather-bound book at Headquarters for all visitors to see.
