District Awards provide the opportunity to showcase your projects to clubs throughout the District and at the same time receive the recognition for your efforts. Submissions are judged against set criteria and the substance of the project is the most important factor rather than the glossiness of the presentation.

NOTES ON THE SUBMISSIONS:

The quality of submissions helps the assessing for an award. Whilst the substance or content is the most important criteria, the way a submission is presented will be taken into account i.e.
In a titled folder, stating your Club, project title and which categories your Club is entering.
Content – media coverage, photo’s, Club publicity / promotion
Involvement of members and community
Benefit to the community

Should you want any materials returning please state that with your submission.
