The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. recognizes the achievement of an individual, a club/circle or district which further the goals and objectives of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., the Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc., and National Garden Clubs, Inc. Giving awards is a way to celebrate excellence and acchievement among garden clubs and individual members.  Awards give us an opportunity to:

• give well-deserved recognition to members, clubs, and districts for their hard work and dedication
• highlights the talents and creativity that is held among the members
• contributes towards a group's cohesion and pride. 
• give your club credibility and visibility in the community
• attracts new members that bring fresh ideas and talent, all of which serves to strengthen your club in the community.  

ATTENTION PLEASE: The FFGC Awards Chair is Sandra Arnold. The award application has been updated and we are catching up to all the other forms.  If we miss one, let us know, but please note the new chair and the new award email:  FLawards2024@gmail.com.

It's advisable to read the supporting documents before completing the single page application.  The rules/procedures will explain in detail (1) what to include and what can be attached to your application; (2) to whom to email, and in some cases, mail, your application and including images (jpegs) if applicable; and (3) the deadline. 

Read the Descriptions & Rules as the most reliable information until the new Awards Handbook is finalized, which we hope will be next week.  The Descriptions & Rules includes the information you need for completing an awards application for each numbered award -- and to whom to send your application. 

Thank you for being patient but, in the meantime, use the Awards Descriptions file and the Application.

REMEMBER TWO THINGS:

(1) Nearly all awards are due November 22, unless listed otherwise in the award description. Most awards will be sent to the FFGC Awards Chair Sandra Arnold at FLAwards2024@gmail.com. 

(2) If your award wins first prize with FFGC, the Awards Chair will forward it to the next level (Deep South / National Garden Clubs).  INDIVIDUALS/CLUBS do not apply to those organizations directly.

NOTE:  All applications with photos of youth under the age of 18 must include a signed publication release form for each young person involved.
