2) Should Awards be engraved when received (as is noted under Section 4. ROUGE DIVISION of 'AWARDS' in the Judging Manual) with at minimum the year, type of vehicle and name of the owner?
3) Should the plaques also be engraved with the areas for the car the Rouge Award/plaque applies to?
4) Upon entering the vehicle for Rouge Class judging at subsequent Meets, this in pursuit of a V-8 Medallion Award(s), how does the owner validate the car as having won a Rouge Award or Awards at a prior meet?
Thanks in advance -
Steve
2) My award says Name year vehicle type I & E --
3) Answer in question 2 I=interior E=exterior
4) All information about the vehicle is recorded by the Judging Standards Secretary. So, when you register any vehicle for Concourse judging, that information is entered into the data base and then after the meet, the records are updated with results.
Being new to showing the car and submitting it for judging this is my first experience with the EFV8 on the Concourse, so I thought though perhaps this is the norm it seems strangely odd to me that a blank would be sent like this. Not sure what my next steps should be - recommendations appreciated.

Thoughts on the plaque appreciated -
Steve
You received the Rouge plaque from the local folks in the Piedmont group who put on the meet. You will be receiving the strip to attach to your plaque directly from the Judging Standards Committee Secretary.

Live and learn - rookie questions. Sincere thanks to all for responding -

The strips usually take two or three weeks. Just depends on how quick the engraver is after the JSC Secretary sends them her list. It shouldn't be much longer.

I am still younger than you.
In a round about way-- thanks for the complement -- heading off tomorrow to co-chair another National Meet.
Gee, that must be close to a dozen now. Nah, only 10?
I bet you miss the cross country drives in your 1939. You certain have your share of memories.
Take care!
Spoke with the Judging Standards Committee leadership and was advised expectations for Members' receipts of Awards/strips is several weeks (10-12+) minimum up to several months. The Committee endeavors, under the mantra of being fiduciarily responsible with all our dues, to accumulate multiple Meets of Awards - as many as 3-4 Meets depending upon the schedules for any given year - before submitting all to an engraver, this to maximize efficiency and economies of scale. Then upon receipt by the Committee the strips are checked for accuracy, cataloged, rechecked and finally re-cataloged before sending to the Award recipients.
This year the Committee was planning on at minimum combining the awards from the Eastern and Central Regionals before submitting to the engraver. Thus, Awards earned in Charlotte in early June may not be received for 3-4 months and perhaps longer if the Committee, after the very, very unfortunate events in Brainerd, decides to wait for the next Meet to accumulate Awards for the engraver.
Members earning Awards at the last Meet of the year, or the Meet after which Awards are accumulated and submitted to the engraver, will receive their awards the quickest though expectations should be at minimum for 2-3 months. Anything quicker and you've hit the bonus.

I'm sorry that this was your experience at the Rohnert Park Meet - actually 1997, right? A few years ago the Club improved its procedures for Rouge judging to return the judging sheets to the owners at the conclusion of the event, showing a pass/fail for each category that was submitted for judging.
Also sorry to hear that your name was misspelled.
The Club keeps records of awards, so if you are interested in what you receive the Rouge award for, please let me know.

Back at ya....
My '53 Ford Fordor Customline won a Rough Award for it's drive train/running gear at the 2006 WNM held in Tacoma, WA. Same scenario, I have a blank plaque from that event as well....
On the bright side, when its time to part with these cars of mine, the new owners can put anything they want on these blank plaques....

"My '34 received a Rouge Award at the Western National Meet held in Rohnert Park, CA back in 1996....At least I think it was '96. I received a beautiful Rouge Award plaque at the event. Several weeks later, I received in the mail an engraved name tag (with my name spelled wrong) to attach to the plaque. I never received anything to indicate which categories (Interior, Exterior and/or Running Gear) the car won. To this day, I have no idea if my car won all three categories, two or just one...."
My experience also..."Bertha" was judged in 2006 at the Eastern National Meet. Got a nice Rouge Award plaque, and was told at the Awards Ceremony that we were certified in all three categories, but no "strip" designating them was ever sent.
I did get the 'strip' with my name.....spelled rite.
Sure would be nice to have the proof.

I believe you got the general form letter for 2015, and not the one for 1997.
As for the misspelled name -- I would chance say that the Club's judging records have your name incorrect, and that is where that comes from.
You would not believe how many members we have that have incorrect information in the Club's records, and even though there are ways to correct it, and members can correct their information, they choose not to do so.

"Please post on the forum that if ANYONE has a strip that is missing, misspelled, contains incorrect information, they should contact the JSC Secretary. Put my name - Milly Scheidt, email address millysch@frontiernet.net out there. I'm not sure who was responsible for the mistakes, but I will do my best to correct them. That's my job."
So there you go --
Send me an email with the correct spelling of your name, car year and body style and I will gladly have your strip redone. I was asked to do your strips by someone who was asked by someone else. The info I am getting is third or fourth hand. Contact me directly so I can get it right.
All you have to do is ask. My email address is millysch@frontiernet.net or you can find my phone number in the roster or in the V-8 Times at the bottom of any of the previous meet reports.
As to anyone else who would like to know how their vehicle is listed in the JSC records, just email me and ask. I am happy to give you any information that I have.
