Contest Description
Key Club International is excited to announce the creation of the Signature Project Contest. Each year, Key Club will recognize clubs for recurring service projects that make a positive impact on communities. The top project in each club size category will be recognized at the annual Key Club International convention.
Signature projects are service projects that a club conducts at least annually — and for which it has become known in its community and on campus. A project must occur annually for the past three to five years.*
Clubs that have recently started a new project that will recur or conducted a one-time project should consider entering our “Single Service” contest.
Some important information to keep in mind:
Key Clubs interested in submitting their projects into the contest must use the online form linked below
The entry form must be submitted electronically by March 15, 2023.
The top place entries from the New England and Bermuda District Signature Project Contest will be sent up to compete in the Key Club International contest.
