Think about what your Kiwanis club is known for in your community. It can be a service project or a fundraiser. Signature projects:
Are recurring. (Note: A new project can qualify as a signature project if the intent is to continue the project)
Enhance the Kiwanis image
Demonstrate significant impact on the community in terms of monies raised or children served
Strengthen membership and partnership opportunities
For the annual Signature Project Contest, Kiwanis clubs submit their project details using the online contest entry form, which is included at the bottom of this page during the submission period. A few details:
Clubs with 27 members or fewer are judged in the Group I category, and clubs with 28 members or more are judged in Group II. Each group is judged separately
Each club’s entry is sent to its district, which determines which projects to submit to Kiwanis International
The Kiwanis International Board Committee on Service and Partnerships reviews qualifying submissions and selects the 10 international finalists for each group
The top three selections from each group are recognized as the first place (gold), second place (silver) and third place (bronze) winners at the Kiwanis International convention
The winning projects in each group are awarded US$2,000, $1,500 and $1,000 respectively. Each year, the 10 finalists are recognized at the Kiwanis International convention — where the first, second and third place winners for each group are announced. Finalists are notified of their selection in time to take advantage of any discounted early registration rates.
