NCGC Awards

The Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc has an active awards program for its membership.  The purpose of the awards program is to recognize the achievements of an individual, a club or group of clubs which further the goals and objectives of The Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc, the South Atlantic Region and National Garden Clubs, Inc.

 What better way to celebrate the achievements of an outstanding project than by winning an award!  What better way to call attention to the great work your garden club is doing in the neighborhood, city or state than by winning an award!  AND, an award winning club will attract new members!  

So pick one or several … the awards program has a number of categories from which to choose, not only for North Carolina but for the South Atlantic Region, and for National Garden Club.  So, pick one today, complete the work and send in the application.  Winning awards is fun for everyone.  See The North Carolina Gardener, 2005-2006 for a complete listing of  The Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc. and South Atlantic Regional awards, and the rules and procedures for applying.  To download application forms click on the following:

  4. Presentation:  Not to exceed 6 pages, front and back for a maximum of 12 pages, not including the manuscript cover.  Material must be attached to pages.

  5. All entries, unless otherwise stated, must be compiled neatly and concisely in a theme/manuscript folder.  (Exception:  For History Awards, see instructions in The North Carolina Gardener Yearbook.)  Reports should be typed and double-spaced.  No Table of Contents is needed.  Pages may not extend beyond the binder's edges and no loose items will be accepted.  No scrapbooks will be accepted.

  6. Only individuals, clubs or groups of clubs who are members of the GCNC are eligible for state awards.

  7. Only councils, all of whose members are member clubs of the GCNC, are eligible for AWARDS OFFERED TO COUNCILS.

  8. Within a given category, a club is eligible for only one award for a single project.

  13. Awards that DO NOT require a Book of Evidence are marked in The North Carolina Gardener Yearbook with an asterisk preceding the award number.  Some awards require written reports instead of Books of Evidence.  The award description in The North Carolina Gardener Yearbook specifies the requirements.
