Awards
See full article: AML Awards
Since 1977, the AML has given awards to the best work "by, for, and about Mormons." When the Whitney Awards were begun in 2008 (honoring 2007 work), many saw them as a populist reaction against the more academic AML Awards.
The award categories vary from year to year depending on what the AML decides is worthy of honor.
