FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE VARIOUS COMPETITIONS & YOUTH ACTIVITIES HELD BY, OR RUN IN, DISTRICT 1180 - PLEASE CLICK ON THE APPROPRIATE TAB TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN. These sub pages are regularly updated, and will include contact details, and where known, entry deadline dates etc.
It is ESSENTIAL that the correct-year entry forms are used (log in will be required to access) AT ALL STAGES OF A COMPETITION - and that to comply with GDPR the forms and all personal details are deleted / destroyed after use - within the timescales as set by Rotary GB&I (normally shortly after the final stage of the competition has been concluded in any given year).
Please be mindful of any COVID-19 restrictions. For the time being there is an embargo on face to face contact (RGBI policy as well as Government rules), resulting in great challenge for clubs to run any competitions. Schools, which are the usual contacts are rather pre-occupied with more pressing issues. District competitions are still planned as are Regional (Chef, Musician and Speaks), but whether they will happen remains to be seen. At this stage (early 2021) the prospects are slim. RGBI finals will not run in 2020/21 for these three main competitions, but they are planned for the non-contact (and largely individual) competitions - Writer, Photographer, Artist. We do not have volunteers to run Young Environmentalist or Young Filmmaker. Young Citizen (entry directly from clubs to RGBI) is also still to run.
