Local Lodge Website/Facebook Contest

Each year the Grand Lodge Fraternal Committee awards Local Lodges that keep their Members informed and active in Grand Lodge Programs and local communities’ projects through a Local Lodge Website or Facebook page.
In order to participate in the GL Contes, WV Lodges MUST compete in the WV State Contest. Winners of the local lodge contest will then be submitted to GL committee.

Websites or Facebook page judging will be based on

Layout (menu or table of contents, accessibility of committees and readability);
Design (special presentation methods);
Graphics (pop up or scrolling messages, etc., overall continuity of site, use of photographs or graphics);
and telling the Elks story.

These five points will receive 1-20 points each. Local Lodges will have their Website or Facebook page accessed three times during the year by the Website Contest Administrator. Website or Facebook page can earn from Three-Star to Five-Star Awards.
