Annual Awards Celebration

Join us for a night at the races as we hoof it on down to Churchill Downs, home of the legendary Kentucky Derby, for our Annual Awards Ceremony and Dinner. We’ll pay homage to the thoroughbred horse—a hallmark of what makes Kentucky so special. Get noticed for the winner that you are!

Sponsorship Opportunities

Ladies and Gentlemen Hat Decorating Contest to Benefit Pure Water for the World

$2,500 Two sponsorships available

A major component of the Kentucky Derby is the ostensacious display of embelished hats. Part Southern tradition, part spectacle, the Kentucky Derby hat parade is one of the greatest people-watching events in the world! Provide the fun for this night to remember while supporting a good cause.

Here’s how it works: Ladies and gentlemen can purchase a hat or fascinator in the exhibit hall Wednesday and Thursday, September 30 and October 1, at the PWW booth. There will be plenty of adornments for decorating, or you can bring your own hat from home. Enter your picture with your creation via the convention app at the PWW booth, where you’ll pay your $40 entry fee. During the Awards Ceremony at Churchill Downs, each sponsor will announce one winner (lady or gentleman) who will be selected by popular vote through the app.

Winners will receive a free registration to the 2021 AWT Annual Convention.

This is a sponsorship that will be remembered for years to come.

Remember, this is the Kentucky Derby, known for over-the-top decorations!
