This Primitive Methodist award in the form of a shield was given by JW Arnold, Vice President of The Primitive Methodist Conference, in 1927. It was awarded for 'annual choir competition'.
The centre shield features a plaque with embodiments of Harmony, Melody and Rhythm, surrounded by smaller shield-shape plaques commemorating the winners until 1933 to the left. In 1932, the United Methodist, the Primitive Methodist and the Wesleyan Methodist Churches united. It would seem that the annual choir competition ceased shortly after unification, as the award was no longer made and all shields to the right hand side are blank.
