This year the AWCF will offer a free gold ticket to a student of a member school to help reduce financial burden and promote those with financial disadvantages to further themselves and their training with the support of the community.
A school/group/club that is registered as an AWCF member can nominate a student from their school to be considered for the award who show great potential and dedication in Wing Chun, but are unable to afford to attend the conference due to financial difficulty. The awardee will be “a student who shows merit, promise and dedication in Wing Chun, stands to benefit from attending the conference, and is enduring financial hardship that prevents them from attending the conference. ”
