Torch Awards Program Overview

Welcome to the FJMC Torch Awards website. This website provides the objectives, categories, guidelines and applications for the Torch Award program, as implemented for 2023.  This website will be updated and improved in the coming months for the 2023-2025 Torch Awards cycle.

Past applications going back many years are available here under “Past Torch Award Winners”. Please use this as a resource for programming and planning club activities. These applications are filed by year, category, club and program. At present applications from 2015 to 2023 are available, and earlier ones will be available soon. 

The purpose of the Torch Award Program is to:

1. Promote development of new, adapted or enhanced club programming and practices.
2. Reward programs and practices that achieve excellence. Gold, Silver and Bronze Torch Awards are presented based on the individual quality of programs.  The awards are given across many broad categories.
3. Disseminate the best of club programming and practices.  Entries will be accessible through the FJMC website for other clubs to read, view video, adopt or adapt.
4. Use Torch Awards as example programs to assist all FJMC clubs to qualify to receive FJMC Quality Club Awards.
5. Provide selected entries for display at the Convention Program Fair, showcasing the effort and creativity of Men’s Clubs across North America.
6. Educate and stimulate club leaders at Convention with program ideas.
