2. Golden Owl Award Nominations - Deadline December 31
Illinois Association of Vocational Agriculture Teachers is proud to partner with Nationwide, Illinois Association FFA, Farm Credit Illinois, and Compeer Financial to offer the Golden Owl Award. The Golden Owl Award® allows us to also extend our support to agricultural educators who devote countless hours, and often their own resources, to positively impact the lives of their students.
With the Golden Owl Award, students, fellow teachers and other supporters can nominate their favorite agricultural teacher and summarize what makes him or her the best in their state. Nominees can win the distinction of being their state’s Agricultural Educator of the Year and the following prizes:
$500 and an engraved plaque to each honoree
$3,000 and the coveted Golden Owl Award trophy to each state’s grand prize winner (Agricultural Educator of the Year)
In conjunction with the Golden Owl Award, Nationwide is donating $5,000 to each participating state’s FFA to further support the personal and professional growth of students, teachers and advisors alike.
Nominate an outstanding Illinois agricultural educator (here) August 1 through December 31, 2021. -- John Edgar Illinois FFA Center Phone: 217-753-3328 Cell: 618-318-5776 Email: jedgar@illinoisffa.org Address: 3221 Northfield, Springfield, IL 62702
