The "SOL LIPKIN AWARD" is described by John McDermott of The Shuffleboard Federation, as follows: "Regarding the Sol Lipkin award, we consider it the highest honor we can award someone. We do not accept nominations, and it is given less than annually, making it even more special."

In 1992 SOL LIPKIN was given an award, which stated that an award was to be given in his honor. Sol then presented GEORGE and DONNA WILBER with the "first" "SOL LIPKIN AWARD". Both were presented at the 1992 NASC.  Winners of these awards, thusfar, include:
Sol Lipkin in 1992
George & Donna Wilber in 1992 
Don Valk in 1993
Bill Melton in 1996
Ron & Debbie Bowers in 2000
Hal Perry in 2000
