Create a scrapbook entry for the 2025-26 Scrapbook Contest Award! The deadline is April 1, 2026. Follow these tips to make it easy and fun to share what your club has learned and accomplished this year: 

  1. Review the contest rules and scrapbook criteria in the Scrapbook Contest Scoring Form (on page 13 of the K-Kids Award and Contest Guide) with members so they’re aware of club-life activities and service to document throughout the year and the content expected in the book. 
  2. Create a Scrapbook Committee. Assign a reporter and photographer or ask members to take turns serving in these roles throughout the year to document the club’s activities.  
  3. Decide whether your club wants to submit a digital or nondigital scrapbook. A digital scrapbook is created using online software such as canva.com. A nondigital scrapbook is created using a traditional binder, paper art, photos and printed articles. 
  4. Create a digital folder where scanned documents (social media posts, newspaper articles, flyers) and digital images can be saved. Agree on a document-naming strategy so that information is easy to find.  
  5. Make an action plan that breaks down creating the scrapbook into smaller tasks. 
  6. Design and create the scrapbook. Review the scrapbook criteria throughout the process to make sure the club is on track to create a competitive entry.  
  7. Distribute photo releases to members for signature by parent(s)/guardian(s). Anyone pictured in the scrapbook should have a signed release form. 
  8. Submit your scrapbook through the online K-Kids Scrapbook Contest Entry Form by the April 1 deadline. 

If members aren’t sure how to organize the book or need creative inspiration, get them thinking by reviewing last year’s winning scrapbook from K-Kids of Greater Point Pleasant in New Jersey, U.S.
