FOR PROGRAM AWARD BOOKS TO BE JUDGED YOU MUST HAVE USED NATIONAL FCE PROGRAM MATERIALS THAT ARE LISTED.
To submit a Program Award Book/Display Board on an International Project, you must do more than collect and mail items to another country. There are videos or slides of the India and Romania projects to rent from Headquarters. These will help you study those countries.
To submit a Program Award Book/Display Board on the Essay and Artwork Contest, you must do more than just sponsor the contest in your schools. We want to see you actually using our FCE materials within this contest. Before the start of the contest, you could go into a school and do a presentation using the FCE pillar books/FCE Friends books on CHARACTER COUNTS! You could also return to the schools after the close of the contest (when picking up the essays) to get feedback from the students. Be sure to include all this in your award entry.
