Georgia Association of County Agricultural Agents

Purpose:   
To recognize County Agents who have developed and implemented innovative programming and outreach efforts with urban agriculture clientele.

The Center for Urban Agriculture would like to recognize Extension Agents that have found new solutions to old problems, tried successful new methods of educational delivery, and/or have been able to engage new urban extension audiences. One of the greatest challenges working in Urban Areas is the shear volume of people to serve and finding ways to promote our programs and impacts in a competitive mass media market. Please share your success stories with us.

Eligibility:   
All County ANR Agents are eligible for this award.

Entry and Judging Criteria:   
Entries will be evaluated on the originality of the ideas, effectiveness in reaching urban clientele, and demonstration of urban agricultural impact. Applicants should;

1. Submit a 500 word summary of your urban extension program, project, or event that occurred within the past 2 years.


2. Send any documentation that supports your application (no more than 3 pages please), which may include:

• Printed program, book or bulletin, posters, video tape, CD, DVD, website, etc.

Award:   
A $500 travel expense voucher and a plaque will be presented at the GACAA Annual Meeting for the winning entry.
