2025 Master Mason of the Year
2025 Master Mason of the Year
Congratulations R:.W:. Allan Mason. Past Master Mark Higgs presented the Award to a Master Mason, in a world of Freemasonry. This is a prestigious, “Lodge-level” honor for active service.
1. Master Mason of the Year Award This is typically a Grand Lodge or Lodge-level award. In Florida, it is used to recognize a brother who has gone “above and beyond” in his service to his specific Lodge and the community. Who gives it: Usually the Grand Lodge of Florida (at the district or state level) or an individual Blue Lodge.
Criteria: It is awarded to a Master Mason who is not necessarily an officer but has shown outstanding dedication—such as mentoring new brothers, chairing charity events, or maintaining the Lodge building. Symbolism: It represents the “Work” of the craft—the practical application of Masonic principles in daily life.
