Planning Plan your awards season early
Peak season stretches our lead times, so the earlier you order custom rosettes and ribbons, the better. Before you order, map out every class and division, and decide where you want champion and reserve-champion awards. Then add a small cushion of extras — ties happen, entries grow, and a few spares on the table beat a scramble the morning of your event.
A quick count by category (all your rosettes together, all your flat ribbons together) also helps you reach the next price-break tier.
