Chapter Activities Award
(Covering June 1 through May 31)
Please submit reports to the National Block and Bridle Vice President and to the Block and Bridle Awards email.
This award is determined from the report submitted from the chapter. The report must be emailed by June 15 to be judged. There is no "Official Chapter Activities Reporting Form;" each school creates their own according to the guidelines listed below.
Submit your report with one activity per page under the categories listed below. If you are reporting more than one activity under a given category, simply duplicate the heading information and update the activity number (for example: "Education/Leadership Activities, Activity #3" for the third activity listed under this category).
Awards will be presented at the next National Block and Bridle convention. First through fifth place will be recognized with a plaque.
