Mystery Melon Award

Two of our members from the State of Tennessee have donated money to the Mystery Melon Award. Due to the generosity of George Kopsell and Craig Peden we will have two Mystery Melon Awards this year. The total for these donated awards is $75 and we are truly thankful for these members.

1st Mystery Melon - $50 Awarded to the member who grows a watermelon from 100 lbs. to the first melon grown below the 20th place prize.

2nd Mystery Melon - $25 Awarded to the member who grows a watermelon from lowest weight to 99 lbs.

The weights selected by the GWG board to win these awards will not be released until after the GPC weigh offs are all over. That is what makes it mystery melons.

The winners will be two members who have watermelons closest to those selected weights without going over. Good luck to all on this contest.

1st Year GWG Member Award

This is a new award for this year that was donated by Craig Peden. Through his generous contribution of $75 we will have 1st and 2nd place melons for this award.

These two awards are for 1st time GWG members who don't grow a melon that is in the top 20. Those 1st year GWG members with the two heaviest melons in this group will be awarded 1st place melon and 2nd place melon in this category.

1st Place Melon - $50

2nd Place Melon - $25

These categories are not for the heavy hitters (whoever you are). If you have a melon placing in the top 20 of the GWG, you will not qualify for the Mystery Melon Award or 1st Year GWG Member Award. Both the Mystery Melon Award and 1st Year GWG Member Award are for growers in the traditional category only. The melons must be weighed at a GPC sanctioned site, the member must have dues paid by June 1, 2013, and the watermelon must be undamaged and sound condition.
