Criteria

More ways to learn, more ways to win!

Club Sky was developed to encourage students to continue entering weather observations even after the subject has been covered in the classroom.  We believe this will reinforce students' classroom lessons and make them more aware of the environment around them.  Every Sky Watcher school is a winner, whether they earn additional prizes or not!

Here's how the contest works ...

Your school earns a point for each school day that you enter a weather observation into our Sky Watchers' database.  Concerned about being away on a field trip or special project and mot being able to submit your Sky Watchers observations?  Don't worry!  Your school can miss up to five days of reporting per period and still qualify for a prize.

Top schools for each period will be determined regionally, with a National Club Sky Champion decided at the end of the year.  Names of the top schools will be posted on our Web site at the end of each contest period.

Just for registering in the program ...

• your school will be entered in a draw for a free weatheradio, with one to be awarded in each province or territory (and, of course, you get our free poster on weather and fronts!).

For each of the three Club Sky periods ...

• schools that enter at least 10 observations in any period will qualify for a draw for a free weather ball barometer.

• schools that miss no more than five weather observations in any period will receive a Club Sky winner's certificate and qualify for a prize in that period.  Only one school per region will win class prizes in each contest period, with the Club Sky winner selected from among the qualifying schools.

For the school year 2005-2006 ...

• the schools in each region with the greatest number of observation days in all three contest periods combined will earn certificates and additional resources for the school.

• of those regional winners, the school with the greatest number of observation days will be this year's National Club Sky Champion and will win an automatic weather station for their school.

Best of luck, and remember . . . the more observations you submit, the better your chances of being a Club Sky winner!
