The Distinguished Club Editor Award is presented to the editors who have served the Alabama District by producing outstanding club publications throughout the year. Awards will be given to those officers who receive at least eighty percent of the points on the report form.  In addition to the Distinguished Award, nominees may apply for the David C. Womack Outstanding Club Officer Award. This award is not limited to any particular office, and one award will be given per year.  To apply for the Distinguished Award only, clubs should complete only the report form. To apply for the Distinguished Award and the Outstanding Award, clubs should complete the report form and submit an essay.  Essay requirements are in the following paragraph.  All nominated offices must have been elected/appointed to their office no later than November 2004.

The report is to be endorsed by the Circle K club president and the Circle K club Kiwanis or faculty advisor.  Reports without these signatures will not be judged.  The following sheet should be filled out, and, if applicable, an essay, one to two pages, double-spaced, and typed should accompany the nomination.   Essays less than one page long shall not be accepted.  The essay should describe how the club editor promoted and exemplified CKI ideals, themes, and objectives as well as any other information that makes the editor outstanding.  This information should include, but it not limited to, the number of service hours the editor completed during his or her term, and the number of Kiwanis Family events the editor attended outside of his or her home club.
