In October of each year the Society holds the annual Art and Craft Awards which originated with the Craft Awards in the York Fair in 1973. When the Fair ceased in 1984, the Craft Awards continued and in 1989 Art was included. The Awards hold an important place in the Western Australian Art & Craft scene and now attract around 300 entries each year from some 150 artists and crafts persons.
In 2021 the Act-Belong-Commit York Society Art & Craft Awards was held October 09 - 17 in the York Town Hall. The special optional theme for 2021 was 'Isolation' and this attracted a very large number of entriesl
The exhibition was opened by Ms Shelagh Magadza, ExecutiveDirector of the Chamber of Arts & Culture WA. Judges were Mr Paul Trinidad, Lecturer in Design at the University of Western Australia and Ms Shana James, Printmaker and teacher at Fremantle Arts Centre.
