4. The Award Program „Zamki w Polsce” includes three kinds of certificates:

  • „The Gentry Award” – for QSO/SWL with stations working in a place with historical sites rated in a Polish Castle List;
  • „The Knight's Award” – for QSO/SWL for contacts with the stations operating from castles;
  • „The Castellan's Award” - for castle activators.
