Teachers,

If you are planning to submit a National Chapter Award form II application, please read the following reminders.

***Remember that National Chapter applications are due to the Region Office on May 10.

· There is a new 2012 National Chapter Award application

· The new application, scoring rubric and scorecard can be found on the national chapter page of the FFA website. https://www.ffa.org/programs/awards/nationalchapter/Pages/default.aspx#

· Applications submited on the 2006-2010 form will not be accepted!

· Scoring and point allotment is different, so chapters should pay close attention as they follow the new rubric!!!!!!!

· Form II activities should come from the activities listed on Form I.

· To start a new line within a box:

o PC: Alt + Enter

o Mac: Control + Option + Enter

· Additional application tips can be found at the following link: https://www.ffa.org/documents/nca_apptips.pdf

· Georgia can submit 28 applications for national judging; so the top 28 will be named Gold at the state judging process in May.

· On the national level, the top 5 Outstanding Middle School Chapter Finalist and Top 10 Model of Excellence Finalists will come to national convention and go through a presentation and interview just as the Model of Innovation Finalists currently do.

· Only 3 Star Chapters, Model of Innovation, Model of Excellence and Outstanding Middle School Chapters will be recognized on main stage at the National FFA Convention.

· 2 and 1 Star Chapters will be recognized at a separate ceremony during national convention.

Let me know if you have questions.
