The Broward Shell Club is pleased to announce a new trophy for our 2026 Shell Show. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia Award will be given to the most outstanding exhibit of mollusks at a shell show. This award is made to the amateur collector or group of such collectors responsible for the exhibit that, in the opinion of the judges, will be most inspiring and instructive for its accurate scientific data, educational value, and attractiveness, and that will contribute most to the success of the shell show. This award may be only awarded to a blue ribbon or first prize winner.

We are very excited and honored to have this trophy available for our 59th Annual Shell Show, Jan 24-25, 2026, at the E. Pat Larkins Community Center, 520 NW 3rd Street (Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd), Pompano Beach, Florida. Please come see the show, meet other collectors and share our hobby!

Looking forward to having you and your exhibit at the 2026 Broward Shell Show!!
