The North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) is an organization devoted to "vexillology as the scientific study of flags." Flag researchers, designers, collectors, activists, and other enthusiasts from the United States and Canada meet annually at NAVA conventions in order to present and discuss research papers, and to honor vexillological achievement with the following awards:

  • the Whitney Award, named from Whitney Smith, awarded to outstanding contributors to North American Vexillology
  • the William Driver Award, awarded at each meeting for the best paper, and
  • the Vexillonnaire Award, which honors a significant success in activist vexillology.

NAVA members receive two publications:

NAVA has attracted attention (particularly in high- or low-ranked cities or states) for publishing surveys evaluating the design quality of city and state flags.
