Awards were given for aircraft in 9 categories. Pilots opted to have their aircraft included in the judging when they registered.
<ul>
 	<li>A team of Chapter members then appraised each aircraft, considering appearance and other subjective considerations. Judging took place between 0830 and 1130.</li>
 	<li>Attendees were given the opportunity to cast a ballot for the "People's Choice" award.</li>
 	<li>Based on information provided by the pilots when they registered, the award for "Most Distant Fly-in" was given to the pilot from most distant home airport in 'air miles'.</li>
 	<li>Trophies were presented on stage to the award winners at 1330. (Trophies will be mailed to any not present.)</li>
 	<li>A framed photo of the winning aircraft will also be provided honoring their recognition as winners at LOEFI 2023.</li>
