The group hosts an annual awards show. Its director is the western publisher Bobby Newton.In 1996, the academy began making annual awards at a gathering in Fort Worth, Texas, specifically to recognize the performers and artisans active in the contemporary cowboy and western movement. The awards have been received by more than 500 individuals in a variety of categories.R.W. Hampton received the first Will Rogers Awards, named for the cowboy humorist Will Rogers.
