There are always several special folks on the beach who spend a great deal of time and energy at WSIKF  doing things to attract kids to the sport of kiting.  This award is to acknowledge their efforts.  Please nominate people you see on the beach who you feel should receive this award in each of two categories:  “TOP KID ON THE BEACH” (under 60) and “SUPER SENIOR” (over 60).  Be sure to also fill in WHY you think the person you nominate should receive this award.  All nomination forms will eventually be passed on to the named people so that they know that their efforts are appreciated and they will be encouraged to do it again next year!

These awards will be based BOTH on the written nominations and on awards made for efforts in the “Kids’ Day” events.  “Top Kid on the Beach” and “Super Senior” will  be announced and honored at the World Kite Museum Awards on Saturday night.
