Do you have a special idea to try out in your school this year? Why not take that idea, develop it further and help the school’s nutrition program grow.
We are looking for applicants for this year’s awards. All managers and food service personnel are eligible. You must be an (SNA) School Nutrition Association and MSNA member, and be certified by SNA to enter.
State winners will receive a plaque and be recognized at MSNA's annual convention in Ocean City and again at the SNA Annual National Conference.
For three of the awards, state winners' entries go on to be judged at the regional level. A winning entry then goes to the national level. SNA awards prizes for winners at these levels. See each award for specific information.
