To ensure the choice of awardee reflects the local interests and concerns of the area, clubs are encouraged to discuss and refine their own criteria within the general objective of the programme which is to recognize “Service above Self” in our young people.
Guidelines:
These are kept to a minimum to maintain a standard which will preserve the integrity of the programme and ensure appropriate public recognition.
- Age of the awardee at the time of nomination must not be more than twenty years. (i.e. they must be under 21)
- Children of members of the awarding Rotary club are not eligible.
- Each club is entitled to make one award only per Rotary year (unless particular circumstances prevail in which case a club can apply for a special dispensation), the award being made to one person only (not shared).
- The ceremony of presentation of the award is to be made at a normal Rotary Club meeting or special meeting to which all club members are invited.
- Presentation of the award is to be made by a local dignitary or prominent person especially invited to perform this duty.
The Award:
A personally inscribed award certificate, in a suitable frame, signed by the President of the awarding Rotary Club and invited VIP, plus the award lapel pin will be presented to the awardee. An additional copy of the certificate will be provided for inclusion in a CV.
Cost:
A charge of $60 per award has been set to cover lapel pins, a frame, certificates and courier costs if necessary.
