Trophies will be awarded to the first five cats voted in each category. Another trophy will be awarded to the Best Cat voted within the three categories. A trophy will also be awarded to most creative human participant who has decorated the Best Cage, while another four trophies will be awarded to those who have worked hard to promote and improve the club. All trophies are sponsored by Kevin Charles Micallef of Micabliss Persians.
