The Ullmann Award — For European Big Game Trophy Animals

The Ullmann Award is the most prestigious recognition for European big game hunting achievements. Created in 1995 by the Ullmann family and SCI friends, it honors hunters who pursue the full diversity of European big game species across the continent.

Administered by Ullmann Award Family Foundation.

How It Works

The award uses a point system. Each European big game species taken equals 1 point. There are 6 levels of achievement, from the 1st Echelon (8 species) to the ultimate Magnum Ullmann Award (46+ species). Trophies must be legally taken under fair chase conditions.
