In order to be eligible for the $500.00 prize, volunteers must abide the following criteria:
- Volunteers must sign in with the volunteer coordinator the day-of the event, work their scheduled hours and sign out after their shift in order for their hours to count towards the contest.
- If a volunteer representative of an organization does not show for their designated timeslot, that organization will automatically be disqualified from the contest.
- Representatives will receive credit for the hours they are present and working, so organizations should encourage timeliness.
- All drink booth volunteers must be at least 18 years of age
- All Adventure Zone volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.
The winner of the contest will be announced September 10th.
