2028 TSBS Awards submission due February 15, 2027
“Why do we need to submit an award a year ahead?” – It is time to submit competition awards for the 2028 TSBS Awards. We gather the awards ahead of time so that we can receive a list of awards when we arrive at the TSBS Spring Show & Sale. That allows members to learn and prepare for the coming year’s competition. And it allows our button dealers to bring buttons that are on topic.
” There are never any awards for the kind of buttons that I am interested … ” – You need to write that award!
“I have never submitted an award before…” – Ask a member of your club or any of the officers of the society to help you. Our award chair, Karen Perry, is always willing to help you to get the wording just right.
“Has my club written awards to submit?” – Perhaps you can.
