Applications are now available for the 2008-09 Best Awards!
The deadline to apply is June 15, 2009 - don't miss your chance to apply!

Is your secular student group the best? Did your group go on an amazing spring break service trip? Does your website get hundreds of hits a week? Has your club been covered by a major newspaper? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions - or perhaps you did something with even more spiff - then you should apply for a Best Award.

APPLY TODAY!

The categories for this year's awards are Best Service Project, Media Coverage, Website, Best New Affiliate, and Affiliate of the Year. Each award comes with a cash prize to be used toward future group events and projects: Affiliate of the Year is a $500 award, and all others are awarded $300 each. Groups can apply for as many awards as they wish, although a group can only win one award per year.

The deadline for applications is June 15, 2009. Awards will be announced on the Secular Student Alliance's website this summer and will be presented at the annual conference in August. In addition, the winning groups are invited to send one or more representatives to our conference to present to their fellow students about their group, its projects, and their award.

SSA staff considers all affiliate groups when selecting the winners of the Best Awards, even those groups who do not apply. However, submitting an application brings your successes to our attention and ensures that we don't overlook your group simply because we haven't heard about all the great things you're doing! So get those applications coming in - we're excited to see how your group has excelled!
