4-H Award of Excellence

The 4-H Alberta Awards of Excellence is a series of four 4-H Alberta awards designed to recognize the achievements of 4-H members. The awards are based on the accumulated total of the member’s yearly 4-H Diary points.

Encourage your 4-H club members to complete their diaries each year. The diaries are not only serve as a great personal record of the members’ 4-H experience; they also are required for participation in the Selections program, and for 4-H Scholarship Applications. To download the 4-H Diaries click here.

Once a member has reached one of the following point levels, the leader can order an Award of Excellence to be presented to the 4-H member. To order, complete the 4-H Alberta Award of Excellence Order Form (see reverse) and send it to your Area Coordinator.

Eligibility Requirements   

• Clubs may apply once per year for awards.
• Members can receive one award each year. If a member is eligible for a silver or gold award and has not received a bronze award, you can order a lower award so the member can collect the whole set. However, if this is the member’s last year in 4-H, you will want to order the highest award the member is eligible for. If you have questions, please contact your Regional 4-H Office.

The order form for the 4-H Award of Excellence is available as a fillable PDF – download to your computer and you can fill out and then save/print the form.
