STAR Awards Ceremony and Banquet

CCA Florida STAR Awards Ceremony & Banquet presented by Florida’s Sports Coast
Mark your calendars for October 10, 2026, as we celebrate youth fishing and practicing conservation during the annual CCA Florida STAR Awards Banquet. This celebratory evening brings together anglers, families, sponsors, and supporters from across the state to recognize our youth who have participated in the summer long STAR Competition presented by Yamaha, Florida’s largest family-friendly fishing competition.

Throughout the night, we will honor our youth winners across a variety of divisions. The event will showcase the passion and dedication that fuels Florida’s fishing community. Guests will hear inspiring stories of conservation, community involvement and how STAR has made an impact on families and in protecting and enhancing our state’s fisheries and coastal habitats

In addition to the STAR awards presentation, we will also award the prizes from the Drum Spots Lots-A-Spots tournament.  Attendees do not need to have participated in either tournament and will enjoy a lively evening filled with fellowship, dinner, and the chance to connect with fellow anglers, conservationists, and sponsors who make the STAR program possible. The banquet not only celebrates accomplishments on the water but also highlights the mission of CCA Florida: ensuring a bright future for Florida’s marine resources and the anglers who treasure them.
