DEADLINE for VFGC Awards
Awards Application Changes
Starting this year, many awards will no longer require a book of evidence as we
now know it. The application and requirements will be much shorter and in many cases
the plastic page covers and report folders will no longer be used. The new application
will be limited to just 3 printed pages. No changes have been made to the Book of
Evidence required for Flower Show Achievement Awards.
These changes should make it easier to apply for awards. Look for complete details
in the VFGC Yearbook as well as on the VFGC website.
