SC Lions Hall of Fame
It is a distinct honor to be admitted to the SC Lions Hall of Fame. At the most, only one Lion per year from each district may be inducted to the SC Lions Hall of Fame (Living) and one to the SC Lions Hall of Fame (Deceased). Clubs nominate Lions for consideration by district not later than January 31 of each year. Each district has a three-member committee to review nominations and make the selection.
The newly selected Lions are inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Awards Luncheon during the Annual State Convention.
