Hi Folks,

we are currently taking nominations for the Steve jepson Vine of honor award. Following are the guidlines for the award:


The Vine of Honor was created in 2011 to recognise significant contributions to the sport of Giant Pumpkin Growing. Individuals may be considered that do not necessarily meet the criteria for the Hall of Fame, however it is possible for someone to receive both awards.
    

Individuals may be considered that are, current growers, retired growers, non-growers, event organizers, support people, etc.


Individuals that are alive or that have passed on may be considered.


The GPC will accept nominations for the award each year from November 1st to December 1st. Nominations for the award may be made by any individual or organized growing club. Nominations will be made in writing, outlining why it is felt the individual is worthy of receiving the award and their contribution to the sport.

Candidates will be reviewed by the steering committee for eligibility and voted on. If more than one candidate is nominated, committee members will rank the candidates in order of preference, from 1-5 (assuming there are 5 candidates). The candidates will then be scored based on their ranking in the vote. This will be done in a similar manner of the way the HOF scoring is done. The highest scoring candidate will then be award the Vine of Honor Award.
In the event of a tie, an open vote of the committee will be taken.
In any given year, a maximum of one individual may win the award.


If you know of an individual that is deserving and you would like to make a nomination, please forward you Nomination and a Bio on the individual as to why they are deserving to me ASAP at: john@gpc1.org

Further to what Dave said, the commitee chose not to give the award last year.
