Deep South Awards Application PDF

Recognize and validate individual and club achievement by applying for awards.  Get the current application form for NGC from your District Awards Chairman.  Deep South Awards can be found on the web (see above).  All applications and supporting evidence must be sent to FFGC Headquarters by December 1 for judging (unless otherwise stated in the awards description).  There are no crossover awards except for the Publicity Press Book Award and Garden Club of the Year.  See those awards for complete descriptions.

Prepare separate Books of Evidence for FFGC, Deep South and National Awards.  FFGC permits copies of pages used in other Books of Evidence, so make the greatest use of the pages that you prepare by making copies and applying for multiple awards.  Be sure to follow the guidelines for each submission. 

Forms can be downloaded from National or this chairman can e-mail awards applications upon request.  This chairman will also send snail mail if you don't have access to the Internet.
