State Awards Rules

Awards Year is January 1 – December 31 annually for all submissions, including projects. If a continuing project, application must be based on work accomplished during the current awards year.
Contact Award chairman listed for each award for information on that award or scale of points.
Only individuals, garden clubs, garden sections of other clubs in Georgia, and garden club councils or districts that are members in good standing of GCG are eligible for awards competition. EXCEPTION: individual members, clubs, councils or Districts may NOT apply for awards for their work associated with a state project, including, but not limited to: Historic House and Garden Pilgrimage, Workshops, Conventions, and Symposia. Junior, Intermediate, and High School Garden Clubs must be sponsored by an adult club and must observe the same award rules as adult members in order to be eligible for any award.
The GCG application form must be completed from the GCG website and submitted electronically (email) to the chairman listed for that award with an electronic copy to the State Awards Chairman. If any submission is made by mail or delivery, DO NOT request a receipt signature as this may delay receipt. Tracking numbers may be used.
DSGC and NGC applications are available on the GCG website and must be submitted electronically to the State Awards Chairman.
To compete for a Flower Show Award, a show must have been evaluated. The show must be a Standard Show and must have scored 95 points or more to be eligible. Shows are scored in accordance with NGC guidelines and evaluation forms.
Deadlines are included with each award description. ALL award entries must be in the hands of the designated chairman on or before deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS!
All results of judging committees are subject to review by the State Awards Committee. Awards in any category may be withheld if entries are not found to be meritorious. If an entry more nearly complies with another award, the Awards Committee reserves the right to transfer the entry. Awards may be subdivided.
Any entry on display at the Awards Ceremony may be claimed at the end of the Ceremony. Any entry not claimed will be given to the District Director for disbursement. In the odd number years the outgoing District Director is responsible.
Perpetual trophies are on display at State Headquarters in Athens. A State Certificate will be given for the award if a trophy is not indicated. DSGC and NGC awards/certificates won by Georgia garden clubs or councils will be disbursed at the discretion of the State President.
