Each year IEEE Power Engineering Society gives "Outstanding Chapter Award" to the chapter that is judged to have provided the greatest overall contribution and service to its members in the following categories:

          1.       Technical Activities.

          2.       Societal Activities.

          3.       Membership Advancement, Fellow Nominations and Awards.

          4.       Enlistment of New PES Members.

Activities considered for  the OCA are only those that occur during the calendar  year, i.e. January 1 to December 31.

Two Separate OCA Competitions

The OCA is split into two separate but equal competitions so that similar-sized chapters only will compete against each other:

          1.          Outstanding Large Chapter Award (>100 members)

          2.          Outstanding Small Chapter Award (<100 members)

All competition rules for the OCA are identical. 

Cash Awards

In recognition of all the hard work put forth by all chapters, large or small, winners or runners-up, cash awards will now be given each year:

          1.          Winning Chapter = $1000

          2.          Runner-Up Chapter = $250

The award also consists of an Award Plaque and custom-prepared Outstanding Chapter Award Banner complete with the name of the winning chapter. In addition, the winning chapter officers are presented with handsomely prepared certificates in recognition of their outstanding leadership.
