Description Checklist for Area/Division Governor
Category Contests  Type Reference

Area and Division Contests

Finance
Area and Division Contests must be self-financing. No subsidy from the District is available. As the Contest Handbook says: "Determine the budget for the contest, remembering that contest income and expenses should break even."

As an Area Governor you can ask the Clubs in your Area to finance the Area Contest. This has two big advantages:
1. There will be no need to collect money at the door from individual attendees;
2. You know that expenses will be covered exactly by income (by asking each Club to pay an equal share of the total cost).
However please note that this can only be done with the agreement of the Clubs involved as they have financial autonomy.

1 - 4 months in advance of Contest
- Set date with Area/Division Council
- Book room
- Order Participation Certificates, Top 3 Certificates and Judging, Timer & Counter forms
- Appoint Contest Chair, Chief Judge, Judges, Sgt At Arms, Timers, Counters and any other officials you want
