Prestige is divided into three types: General prestige, Regional prestige and National prestige. Prestige may only be awarded by the Coordinator Chain, though it may be based on recommendations by the Storytelling Chain.
National prestige may be recommended by the Members of the Camarilla Council and/or those assistants who are granted the authority by these people to award National prestige. It is awarded by the Club Director or the National Coordinator for serving in a global or national level position, participating in a national charity drive, moderating national lists, or otherwise doing work from the following charts that impacts the organization on a national or global level.
Regional prestige may be awarded by a Regional Coordinator, as well as by anyone able to grant National prestige. It is awarded for serving in a regional position, helping with a regional event or regional charity drive, moderating a regional list, or otherwise doing work from the following charts that impacts the organization on a regional level.
General prestige may be awarded by a Domain Coordinator, Chapter Coordinator or by anyone authorized to award Regional or National prestige. It may be awarded for anything from the following charts and is most commonly awarded for work or contributions that affect the organization on a local level.
Only rarely should an officer be awarded the maximum allowable award for that position. Failure to perform duties such as reporting, responding to email, etc should result in a lower award. Awards for assistants should take into account the amount of work required for that position relative to other officers. Generally, however, an Assistant should receive approximately half the Prestige of their immediate Supervisor, based on the work load they handle in a month.
