Special Awards

Sponsored Special Awards supplement the Grand Awards given in each category and division. Organizations provide representatives to judge exhibits and present awards based on their criteria. Awards may include cash, savings bonds, calculators, computers, and/or summer job opportunities. Awards given by an organization must have a total value of at least $50 and organizations are limited to 4 awards.

New organizations wishing to join this prestigious group of Special Awards Organizations should review the Special Awards Program Policy and then create a new Special Awards Account.

Organizations that participated in the 2013 CSEF, may update their award information via the Special Awards Update Form. (See a list of the 2012 Special Awards organizations, prizes, criteria, and judges.)

Special Awards Judges are selected by the organizations who are providing the awards. Special Awards Judging Packets with a detailed schedule and instructions will be sent to the organization's contact person in LATE March. If he/she has not received a packet by April 1st, please contact Sam Bartlett by e-mail or by phone (303-988-2426).
