Contest Rules
YEAR IN REVIEW CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES
A Key Club may enter either a traditional or digital scrapbook containing pictures, souvenirs, examples, news clippings, etc., of its activities during the club administrative year (defined as the time from DECON to DECON).
Each scrapbook must be divided into these six categories:
Service to school
Service to community
Fundraising projects
Kiwanis family interaction
Major Emphasis involvement (The Major Emphasis theme is Children: Their Future, Our Focus. This incudes all local projects that serve children.)
Miscellaneous.
Each category must be separated accordingly, and pages or slides must be organized with a table of contents included at the beginning of the scrapbook. Judges will deduct five points for missing divisions between categories and five points for a missing table of contents.
To be eligible for the international contest, the first- and second-place district winners in each category must be received by the Key Club International Office no later than the first Friday in May.*
Only the first- and second-place district winners in each category will be eligible to compete in the international contest. If a district does not hold a contest, it may select an entry by other means and certify it with the district administrator’s signature. Clubs within a non-districted area should submit their entries to Key Club International by the first Friday in May to the address above or emailed to keyclubinfo@kiwanis.org.
For digital scrapbooks, PPT, PPTX, ODP and PDF are all supported presentation file types.
Scrapbooks will be judged on a point system as follows:
Visuals (30 points total)
Artwork and Decorations (15 points)
News Articles and Photos (15 points)
General Content (80 points total)
Service to School (20 points)
Service to Community (20 points)
Fundraising Projects (10 points)
Assistance to Kiwanis Projects (10 points)
Involvement with Major Emphasis Program (10 points)
Miscellaneous (10 points)
The contest entry form must contain the following: Key Club name, city, state/province, district and an itemized budget for the scrapbook. This statement must be signed by the Key Club president and faculty advisor, stating that the entry’s retail cost value (including photographic materials) does not exceed US$300. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disqualification. Each scrapbook being judged at the International Convention MUST be the exact same scrapbook judged at the district convention. Any alterations in the scrapbook will result in disqualification.
Digital Scrapbooks must be submitted with a shareable link.*
Suitable prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place scrapbooks judged best on the basis of visuals and content.
The decisions of the judges are final, and no changes, alterations or regrading will take place after the results have been certified by the judges of this contest.
*The first and second place winners will be submitted to the International Contest by the District Administrators. We will ensure that a shareable link is provided to Key Club International using the scrapbook uploaded on the District entry form.
Each Key Club may enter EITHER the Traditional Scrapbook Contest OR the Digital Scrapbook Contest, not both.
