Volunteer Recognition Award Brooch Design Contest
SNAG is looking for the next Volunteer Recognition Award Brooch design!
Each awardee receives a specially designed brooch as a thank you from SNAG. Every three years SNAG looks for a new design from a school/group of students. The first design (2015) was created by Ross Tanner and Grand Valley State University. We thank them for this first amazing design.
SNAG is now looking for a new design for the next three years. Any group of students and/or school are eligible to submit a design (drawing/CAD/3D model) for the next three awardees starting in 2018. There is a stipend of $1,200 (total) for the three brooches and a free one year organizational membership for the winning school.
Please submit your design proposals to Gwynne Rukenbrod Smith by March 9, 2018.
