Induction into the World Curling Hall of Fame is the highest ‘non-playing’ honour that the World Curling Federation can bestow on someone and recognises outstanding contribution to the sport of curling whether through on ice exploits or off ice endeavours.
2012 was the first year the WCF accepted nominations for this honour.
Previously, the WCF presented the World Curling Freytag Award to recognise outstanding contribution to the sport.
Inductees into the World Curling Hall of Fame are presented with the Freytag Medal to mark their induction.
Previous winners of the Elmer Freytag Award and the World Curling Freytag Award have all been inducted to the World Curling Hall of Fame.
There are two classes of honour:
Curler: Demonstrated World Championship level playing ability, sportsmanship and character, and who has achieved extraordinary distinction and outstanding results in the sport of curling.
Builder: Given distinguished service and has made a major contribution to the development and advancement of curling internationally.
There is no requirement to induct members into the Hall of Fame each year, the honour will bestowed on merit.
