Signature Project Contest Official Rules and Regulations
Signature projects are service projects of fundraisers 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” or “Major Emphasis” contests.)
Key Club International Signature Project Contest rules, instructions and criteria:
- The submitted project must occur at least annually.
- Clubs must submit the entry form by the district’s due date. Late entries will not be accepted. All contest entries must be submitted through the online submission form.
- Only club projects may be submitted for consideration. District projects are not eligible.
- Clubs are only eligible to win every three years.
- Multiple clubs from a single district may enter.
- All contest entries will be confirmed as received via an email to the submitter, with copies sent to the club’s Key Club district governor and district administrator.
- The international contest closes on the first Friday in May. Submissions after that will not be accepted.
- A panel consisting of members of the Kiwanis International staff will review all submissions that meet contest criteria and will select the platinum, gold, silver and bronze winners. The decision of the panel is final.
- The platinum, gold, silver and bronze winners will be awarded at the Key Club International convention.
*Important Note: If you were unable to complete your project in 2020 or 2021 due to COVID-19, you are still eligible.
