The Georgia Cotton Commission (GCC) is pleased to announce that the 2025 Georgia Quality Cotton Awards nominations are open. The awards’ purpose is to recognize producers and ginners of high-quality cotton fiber and identify their general management practices for the benefit of other growers.
If you have a cotton gin in your county, please contact the gin and provide them the nomination information and encourage them to participate.
If you have cotton production in your county but there is no gin in the county, feel free to contact the gin(s) that your farmers usually do business with.
For Extension agents that are covering for a vacant county agent position in a neighboring county or know a neighboring county is without an agricultural and natural resources agent, provide the information to any gin in that county.
The participating gin will identify the nominees from that gin and contact the county agent in the county where the majority of the producers’ cotton is produced. That county agent will assist in providing the information needed and submitting the nomination.
The nomination information and forms will be available online at www.ugacotton.com. Nominations must be submitted online through QuestionPro by county extension agents. The submission link can be accessed through https://uga.questionpro.com/gqca.
Nominations are due by Feb. 17, 2026.
