Adam Kaplan was chosen by players at the 2013 WYOBC as the first recipient of the Joan Gerard Youth Award in the Junior category. Players at the WYOBC vote for the person they believe best embodies bridge aptitude, fair play, good sportsmanship and a friendly international spirit to receive the Joan Gerard award. The players are limited to voting for players who are from a country other than their own, so this award is truly international. Congratulations, Adam!
