Scrapbook Guidelines Based on feedback request from chapters to improve their future award submission, the Awards Committee has found the most common reasons chapters receive deductions: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Noncompliance with the judging criterion (published in Award Booklet) Using documentation that is outside the scope of the timeframe (items from the year before) Missing information Written summary and / or other information too small to read Insufficient information Some pages have too much information, difficult to understand Using a background that makes reading the text difficult Journaling without supporting documentation
Scrapbook Guidelines The following guidelines for the submission of scrapbooks must be followed: 1. SUBMIT NO MORE THAN ONE (1) SCRAPBOOK PER CATEGORY except for the Great Lakes Rise Up Honey Do award. FIVE (5) points will be DEDUCTED if multiple scrapbooks are submitted for a category. 2. The size of a scrapbook must not exceed the dimensions 18 inches by 20 inches. This applies to the scrapbooks that are only displayed at the Regional Conference. 3. Only activities and documentation covering the time period from January 2021 to December 2021 shall be considered. NOTE: The only exceptions to this policy are the awards which have their specific timeframe included in the award criteria. 4. The format of the scrapbook should be organized in the same sequence as the criteria for each award category. 5. The following information is to be included in the design of the cover of your scrapbook: 1) name of the award 2) name of chapter, and name of Soror if applicable. 6. For essays, the cover page should include the name of the soror submitting the essay and her chapter. 7. Documentation in the scrapbook may include newspapers and magazine articles, calendars, letters on official letterheads, pictures, event programs, etc. 8. Documentation is to be limited to no more than the number of pages listed below. However, since some of the criteria will require less than one page, the GL Regional Awards Committee has developed the table listed below as guidance. The chapter determines how to allocate the number of pages. These number of pages excludes divider and title pages. As a reminder the information on the divider and title pages won’t be considered in the evaluation, but may provide a roadmap for highlighting the information included in the scrapbook.
