Note: The few images used here are with the explicit permission of the artists involved. Please do not assume that you can use them for your own purposes without contacting the artists first.

This page lists only the badges registered to the West Kingdom and its Principalities. For any other Kingdom, please visit their websites.

The table below lists any registrations with the SCA's College of Arms for specific recognitions. If a picture is available, it may be provided. In the West Kingdom, few awards have any registration with the College of Arms, and therefore there may not be an official badge. For details and descriptions of awards, what they're given for, and listings of recipients of said awards, please visit the West Kingdom Awards List.
