AWARD SPONSORSHIP
Currently, all of the above awards, with the exception of the Carolina Digital Photography Contest, are sponsored by clubs within the Region. Sponsorship for an award is for a term limit of five years with the option to renew for an additional five years. Cost of sponsorship is $250.00 (paid to the Region 15 treasurer) for each five year term. This provides funding at the average rate of $50.00 per year for the purchase of the awards. The Awards Management Chair is responsible for selecting and purchasing the awards. After submitting the receipt for the purchases, he/she will be reimbursed by the Region 15 treasurer. Awards may be sponsored by Region 15 clubs, as is the current practice, or they may be sponsored by individuals within the region. They may be named for living or deceased members of ADS Region 15, or the names may be generic as indicated in most of the awards listed above. Awards may not be named for non-ADS individuals/relatives, or for ADS members of another region. If an award is to be named for an individual, the Awards Management Committee must attain written permission from the honoree or his/her next of kin if the honoree is deceased. Any request by an individual or club wishing to sponsor an award named for a given person(s) must accompany the request by a short written justification to the Awards Management Chairperson explaining why that person(s) is appropriate for recognition for that particular award.
All applications for new awards must include a completed “ADS Region 15 Award Sponsorship Form,” guidelines or rules for granting the award, and any other information deemed necessary by the applicant. If a new award is proposed, its rules must first be reviewed/approved by the Awards Management Chair and the Region 15 Board, then approved by the membership, subject to any amendments. Only then is the name voted upon for acceptance as a new award.
For existing awards, sponsors wishing to renew sponsorship or change the name of an award are required to complete only that portion of the Region 15 Award Sponsorship Form that is applicable to their request.
