Trophy Season

​We take great pride in rewarding our winning exhibitors at our show with unique,
one of a kind, locally-crafted pottery.
​Each piece is embossed with our TVKC Logo. 

​In order to continue this tradition, we ask our members to help by sponsoring a trophy or two. Along with Best in Show, we always give Group One winners a piece of pottery, regardless of sponsorship, so we really need your help.
