A Note About the AFP Awards Committee

All awards recipients are chosen by the AFP Awards Committee. The committee reviews each application received by the stated dealine that satisfies all criteria. Due to the large number of entry forms submitted, the committee does not provide chapters or other applicants with an evaluation of their entry once the process is completed. If, in the judgement of the committee, no application for a particular award meets the stated criteria, no award will be given. The committee works to establish consistent criteria for each award.
