District Recognition Awards
Apply for your Club Awards in DACdb
The District 5300 awards for 2019-2020 are reflective of the Rotary Citation – the recognition provided by Rotary International, with whom you carry your club Charter. As such, we wanted the District awards to reflect the same and hope that in your quest to achieve District recognition you also receive the Rotary Citation with Distinction.
- The District Award entry deadline is March 20, 2020. Awards will be presented at the District Conference May 1-3. Those clubs achieving Silver, Gold, or Platinum Distinction by the deadline of March 20, 2020 will be considered for the Governor Bell Award. All entries for the District Awards need to be entered using the “Activity Entry” section in the left navigation.
- The Rotary International Recognition entry deadline is June 30, 2020. All entries for the Rotary Citation need to be entered into My Rotary at rotary.org.
To be eligible for both the District Awards and the Rotary Citation, clubs need to begin the year as active clubs that are in good standing and remain so throughout the year.
