Youth Leadership Awards 2012
The VAF sponsors a youth leadership scholarship program annually, in conjunction with the annual convention. Youth ages 14-19 as of January 1st of the contest year are eligible to participate, as long as they have been a participant in or given service to a VAF-member fair. Entry packets for the following year are made available on or about September 1st; please check this website for packets at that time. Entries are due by 5:00 p.m. (firm) on the first Friday in December. Entries generally consist of an application, resume, letter of recommendation from the sponsoring fair, and an essay, but always check the entry packet in case things change.
The five components of the contest are weighted equally and include: Essay, Personal Interview, Extemporaneous Speech, Prepared Speech, and Symposium.
The 2012 winners were:
1st - Marty Harris - Orange County Fair - $2,500
