Stay tuned for updated 2024-25 contest and award entry information.
Thanks to everyone who participated this year, Kiwanis International received amazing award entries from Aktion Clubs around the globe. The Aktion Club spirit shined through in each Single Service award submission and in the skills displayed by members through their writing, public speaking, drawing, designing, organizing and video making. Take a few minutes to view the 2023-24 Aktion Club award recipients and their award entries.
Award winners for the 2023-24 year were announced on this webpage, on social media and in the Aktion Club January 2025 e-newsletter. An email with electronic recognition items (including downloadable certificates, electronic badges, and social media graphics) from Kiwanis International was sent to advisors of clubs and members receiving awards and to their district administrators in December.
District administrators or sponsoring Kiwanis clubs can also recognize Aktion Club members and clubs in your district that participated in or won a Kiwanis International award. Host an awards ceremony at your district convention or send a letter and certificates to advisors using the following ready-to-print and fill-in certificates!
The district (or sponsoring Kiwanis club) can also create your own special or fun awards (like “outstanding event”, “best fundraiser”, “amazing mentor” or “outstanding teamwork”) to recognize advisors, officers, members and clubs for going above and beyond their responsibilities or for special accomplishments.
Review the updated 2024-25 Aktion Club Awards Guide, to be posted here in mid-February for guidelines and new contest themes.
